So, today is Rome's birthday. Makes me wonder, which other cities note a specific founding date and celebrate these as their birthdays?

@Popenici @notanna1 I've never been clear whether 'anniversary' is necessarily positive/celebratory and commemoration for more sombre events

@AvenSarah you'd think there'd be a definitive image of romulus marking out the pomerium vel simm
