Why Rome is called the Eternal City?

📌So many artists, poets, and writers have referred to our city as Eternal, due to its majesty, its glorious accomplishments or its history throughout the years. 

Nonetheless, the first and oldest testimony that we have in which Rome it is defined as Eternal is from a reference made in the 1st century BC, it was the poet Tibullus who used the following verses:

"Romulus Aeternae nondum formaverat Urbis moenia"  

Translated as: "Neither had Romulus erected the walls of the Eternal Urbe"
