Known for launching one of the world's greatest empires, which city has been called "The Eternal City" for over 2000 years?

Rome has had this moniker since the 1st century BC, perhaps writing its own fate as the "Eternal City." Historians have traced the name back to Tibullus from Elegies, who wrote, "Not yet had Romulus drawn up the Eternal City’s walls, where Remus as co-ruler was fated not to live."
