Rome was never a little settlement. The foundation of Rome involved the unification of a number of independent settlements on what were to become the seven hills of Rome. Therefore, it was a sizable city-state from the beginning. The date given by the Roman tradition for the foundation of Rome is 853 BC. The city of Rome was never invaded. It was sacked four times, but it was not invaded or taken over. What was invaded was the western part of the Roman Empire. Its invasions started in 406 AD. The conventional date used by historians for the fall of the western part of the empire is 476. The invaders eventually took over the lands of this part of the empire, but did not take the city of Rome.
