a. Kolkata
b. Rome
c. Athens
d. Bangkok

Answer 1

Hint:
 Many of the cities around the world have many popular nicknames. Rome’s legend is somehow started in the 4 century BCE, and they told the story of twins son of Mars, they were saved by a she-wolf when their uncle Amulius tried to drown them in the Tiber river.

Complete solution:
Rome is called the Eternal city. This is so because the people of Rome believed that, or we can say that they thought that no matter what happened in the world, it does not matter how many Empires might rise and fall, Rome would go on forever. Tibullus (54-18 B.C.) who has a Roman elegiac poet and one of the greatest poets of the Latin and also some other writers or poets of Rome refers their city as the Eternal city and this thought is also expressed in many of their official documents of the Empire. “An Empire without end” this phrase was much popularized by the “Eternal City” in the year 1901 which was a novel written by Hall Caine that deals with a Utopian state in Rome. “Rome was not built in a day”, in one form or other is a very old saying. Rome is found in Latin in the early twelfth century and the Pier Angelo who was a Latin poet quoted it in Zodiacus vitae and John Heywood also included in his proverbs in 1946.


Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
 Rome is the capital and special commune of Italy. Rome is basically the third most populated city in the European Union. Rome is the first called The Eternal City.
