     Sorry for delaying "Mario's Empire!" Well, welcome to the series, even though I'm late. This is a good mix of my previous gaming blog and this history blog.

I wrote the history of Rome (753 BCE - 476 CE). If you guys want, I can make a second part (476 - 1453). And also, WWI and WWII content are coming soon. So, let’s jump in. This is the story of Rome.  Though this is mythical, Rome was founded by two brothers called Romulus and Remus. After meeting a wolf, Romulus killed Remus and became the first king.  In reality, in 1000 BCE, there was a village in modern-day Italy. It was very small. One day, however, a man called Romulus led many other villagers to found a city. What they didn’t know was that it would become a massive empire, be the father of modern democracies, and much more.  Following the real R...
