ABSTRACT

Monarchy has started with the establishment of the city of Rome in 753 B.C. and lasted until 510 B.C. Having settled on Seven Hills, Romans found here local inhabitants and their civilisation which was marked by pagi (the composition of a settlement), gentes (families), and clients belonging to it. Romans have strengthened the institute of a family without abolishment of relations between gentes. The date of city foundation was when the first king Romulus organised the society of the city by dividing it into patricians and plebeians. In Monarchy, when Etruscans have implemented reforms, Rome has expanded from a city to a state. In 6 A.D., sacred rites involved a primitive Roman law. At international level, in words of nowadays, the Law of Fetial taken over from other nations and appreciated by Romans in practice has been functioning. It lasted for eight centuries. Law is analysed with the attempts to determine its impact on culture. How did the developing law of Rome manage to influence the culture of other nations? “In Rome, script appeared in 6 A.D.”^{^[1]}. Though, there are no written documents from the period of the city of Rome. Leges regiae has been restored from other documents. More historical monuments, witnessing about the culture of the city of Rome, have been remained.
