The attempt to derive from the name of the city Of Rome certain conclusions as to its origin has been unsuccessful; those who would connect the word Roma with the name of the primitive river-god Ramon perhaps approach nearest to the truth, for the navigable stream was naturally the most important factor for the settlement on the Tiber, and Old Roman coins actually exhibit to us as stamp the stern of a ship, which we therefore may regard as the city's first escutcheon.
