Coin toss

Answer

Romulus and Remus decided the location of Rome through a process called augury, which involved interpreting the will of the gods by observing the flight of birds. They each chose a hill and waited for a sign. Romulus saw 12 birds on Palatine Hill, while Remus saw 6 on Aventine Hill. This led to the decision to build Rome on Palatine Hill.
