Where does the article get 510 BC as the founding of the ‘Roman Republic’?

The founding of Rome has always been dated as 753 BC.

The society started off as a kingdom, then became a republic, then an empire.

Yes, the last King was driven out of Rome around 510 BC. Athen also established the first democracy a few years later.
