[QUOTE="JesusFollowerForever, post: 77646539, member: 453962"] For questions like these chat GPT can be a good place to get some initial info but it must be verified, our chatty AI tends to omit info and make mistakes sometimes here is what it said to your question: Yes, there is evidence suggesting the existence of settlements in the area of Rome before the time of Homer, who lived around the 8th century BC. The earliest inhabitants of the region were likely the Italic tribes, including the Latins, who are considered to be the ancestors of the Romans. Archaeological evidence indicates that there were settlements in the area dating back to the Bronze Age, around the 10th century BC or even earlier. These early settlements gradually grew into larger urban centers over time. One notable site is Palatine Hill, one of the Seven Hills of Rome, where archaeologists have found evidence of human habitation dating back to the 10th century BC. Additionally, the ancient Romans themselves believed that their city was founded in the 8th century BC, traditionally dated to 753 BC according to the Roman scholar Varro. While there may not be direct references to the city of Rome specifically in Homer's works, there are mentions of Italy and its inhabitants, such as the Etruscans, who were neighbors to the early Romans. Overall, while specific details about Rome before the 8th century BC may be limited, there is ample evidence to suggest that the city and its predecessors existed in some form prior to Homer's time.
