Who really founded the Roman empire Aeneas or Romulus and Remus and was there movies about them?

Answer 1

Interestingly enough, none of the above.
Dealing with the founding of the city of Rome, if you are asking who REALLY founded it, then archaeological evidence points to pastoral settlements, ca. 800 B.C.
The myth of the legend of the founding of Rome as told by Livy tells of Romulus and Remus being sons of the Vestal Rhea Silvia exiled from their homeland in the latium as babies, and nursed by a wolf. They were then taken by shepherds (there are similarities with the birth of Aenas in the Aeneid, Aeneas' father was a shepherd, and in Greek myths, shepherds are usually the ones finding lost children), and then Romulus and Remus went on to found two distinct cities, but Romulus killed Remus because the latter crossed a sacred line drawn by a plow (a friend of mine would argue that it was a human sacrifice to consecrate the pomerium, or sacred space of Rome). Anyways, Romulus then founded Rome and was its first Ruler.
Aeneas was a Trojan who escaped the destruction of Troy with Trojans and after many travels resembling the Odyssey, settled in the Latium.
Now the Roman Empire was founded territorially under the republic, through various conquests. Augustus was the first emperor in that he was the First Citizen of Rome (princeps senatus), as well as Tribune of the Pleb, and Imperator (ie: generalissimo of the army).
Complicated issue...

Answer 2

The founding of Rome is shrouded in legend such as the story of Romulus and Remus, but archaeological evidence supports the theory that Rome grew from pastoral settlements on the Palatine Hill and in the area of the future Roman Forum, coalescing into a city in the 8th century BC. That city developed into the capital of the Roman Kingdom (ruled by a succession of seven kings, according to tradition), Roman Republic (from 510 BC, governed by the Senate), and finally the Roman Empire (from 31 BC, ruled by an Emperor); this success depended on military conquest, commercial predominance, as well as selective assimilation of neighboring civilizations, most notably the Etruscans and Greeks. Roman dominance expanded over most of Europe and the shores of the Mediterranean sea, while its population surpassed one million inhabitants. For almost a thousand years, Rome was the most politically important, richest and largest city in the Western world, and remained so after the Empire started to decline and was split, even if it ultimately lost its capital status to Milan and then Ravenna, and was surpassed in prestige by the Eastern capital Constantinople.
