Describe the two legends of the founding of Rome?

One of the famous legends of ancient Rome is that a wolf  gave milk to two twins and then there is another version on who found Romulus and Remus. The other version is that there was a shepherd and then he found them in his land and he went and took them to his wife who had just lost a newborn child. The two twins decided to found a new city. They decided to found it near where they were to palatine hill and ruled Rome.
The other one is about Aeneas. The most popular legend is the one of Aeneas who was a hero fighting with  the Greeks in Trojan wars. He got the girl that another men liked so they fought. Aeneas married the daughter of king Latinus. The  father of the wife of Aeneas was protective of her own daughter.

The archaeologists say that Rome was founded in 750 B.C.E they say that the exact date that Rome was founded was 21 April 753 B.C.E.
