In 400 BC Rome was still a small city. It probably did not even have a stone wall to protect the city.

The Forum lies between the two
hills Capitolinus and Palatinus. This
was a swamp and had to be drained. For this reason the great sewer
Cloaca maxima was constructed.
Romulus' hut at the Palatinus was kept there, even in the times of
Augustus, though Romulus and his hut were mythical.
The same is true for the sister's beam. Both object must have been
placed in later times.
The Romans went through a lot of trouble just to "prove" their myths.
