The era of the Founding and the Period of Kings lasted from circa 625 BC-510 BC. 

Rome was first founded in circa 625 BC. The Period of Kings lasted until 510 BC. During this period, Rome was ruled by at least 6 kings. The Period of Kings saw military, economic, and political advances, including expanded borders and increased military might, increased production and trade of goods, and the early development of the Roman constitution. The decline of Etruria brought the end of the Period of Kings, and the emergence of the Roman Republic.
