However, they could not agree on who should rule, and Romulus killed Remus and became the first king of Rome. The city of Rome took its name from Romulus. Etruscan kings then ruled Rome for some time. The Roman Senate developed as an advisory council and gained power after the overthrow of the monarchy. The Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage ended with Rome in control of the Mediterranean region after defeating Carthage. Julius Caesar became dictator of Rome but was later assassinated in a plot.
