Which came first: Rome or the romans?
DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
The Romans.
There were a bunch of people living in the area, farming and worshipping the gods, who shared similar values and felt a certain unity. Those folks got together and started building a city.

But they weren’t romans tho, they only became romans when someone called the place “Rome” So in order for them to be called romans, they mustve vuilt the place and then named it. Before that they were called sth else.

People build cities, buildings do not, so I’m going to vote for people coming first.

The question is if they were considered and/or identified as Romans before there was a city called Rome

Well you know what they said “Babylon wasn’t built in a day” or sth.
