On Friday April 21, Rome celebrated the 2776th anniversary of its legendary foundation by Romulus in 753 BC. The annual birthday celebration, called in ancient times “Dies Romana” or “Romaia”, includes historical re-enactments of ancient Roman rituals, costumed parades, and gladiator fights, staged by the Rome Historical Group in the Circus Maximus.
