After Romulus founded the city of Rome in 753 BC, he expanded his empire through his private army made of 300 fierce, well-trained Etruscans. Led by Romulus' Lieutenant Celer, the cavalry was called the "Celeres". Throughout the centuries, Emperors were choosing the new Celeres Warriors from sons of the wealthy, and the newly made Patricians. When the Roman Empire fell in 476 AD, the Celeres warriors and their families left Rome and went west to the Valley of Rionansa in Cantabria, Spain. The small village, and the surnames of the people who lived there, were named Celis. The sunny valley, which often receives rain, is a few kilometres from the Cantabric Sea.
