Answer in explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The city founded by Romulus is not called Rome, because this is the English version of the name. The city founded by Romulus is called Roma. In Latin and in modern Italian. If Remus had founded the city, it would not have been called Reme, because neither Romulus nor Remus spoke English!
