It depends on how you look at it.  It also depends on when you think Rome "fell", as the date varies among different circles, some don't think of it as "fallen", considering it is nicknamed the "Eternal City".  So in a way, you could say the days and years are still being counted.

I love this question!  I'm not sure that I can give a perfect answer -- but I'll try to give a good one.

In a sense, Rome has been built from several hundred B.C. to the present day.  But the main buildings of Rome, at the height of its power, were built over approximately 300 years -- 100 B.C. to 200 A.D., give or take a few years.

You can see a timeline of Roman architectural history on this page.

Actually there are new findings that indicate that

"There was no gradual expansion of an old core but the sudden evolution of a city that was great and remains great", in the words of Andrea Carandini, a historian and archaeologist. You can read more about it on the Herald Tribune.

Rome is called the eternal city  in my opinion , because she is being the  buildt eternaly Since the time of the first kings through the Republic the Empire (including he last one Romulus Augustus ) the city was renewed With Christianity the Popes became the great builders (like Julius II ) and today the Communist Mayor and his City Council are building , building and again building . Every visitor stuck in a Roman traffic jam will agree with me, that it will take an eternity to finish the building of Rome
