Possibly. The legend is that a guy had 2 dogs that wouldn't stop fighting so he gave one away and named the city after the one he kept. The other one resurfaced in the 1930s as the most successful bootlegger in the country, George Remus, who shot Remus' wife outside the Springs Eternal Gazebo in Cincinnati to the amusement of gawkers because no one had invented television yet.  Meanwhile, Mexico City is on top of the mezomorphic era Technotitland. Their marketing department never successfully sold the snake with feathers thing to the rave kids, and many millennials later when it was unearthed everyone said a snake with feathers is a stupid god so they just re-earthed it.

Remus's wife deserved that killing :( -

"While he was in prison, Remus befriended another inmate and eventually confided in him that his wife, Imogene Holmes, had control over his money. The inmate was an undercover prohibition agent, Franklin Dodge, who was there to gather information of that sort. Instead of reporting the information, Dodge resigned his job and began an affair with Remus' wife. Dodge and Holmes liquidated Remus' assets and hid as much of the money as possible, in addition to attempting to deport Remus, and even hiring a hit man to murder Remus for $15,000. In addition, Remus's Fleischmann Distillery was sold by Holmes. Remus' wife gave her imprisoned husband only $100 of the multimillion-dollar empire he created.

In late 1927, Imogene Holmes filed for divorce from Remus. On the way to court, on October 6, 1927, for the finalization of the divorce, Remus had his driver chase the cab carrying Holmes and her daughter through Eden Park in Cincinnati, finally forcing it off the road. Remus jumped out and fatally shot Imogene in the abdomen in front of the Spring House Gazebo to the horror of park onlookers."

George Remus was an American lawyer and bootlegger during the Prohibition era. Remus was known to have referred to himself in the third person after his rise to power during the early days of Prohibition, which he reportedly continued to do until his death.
The marriage ended in divorce in 1920 after Remus began an affair with his legal secretary, Augusta Imogene Holmes

According to the story of Romulus and Remus, they created a new city.

Constantinople on the other hand, the capital of the later Roman Empire, and then capital of the Eastern half when it was divided in two, was built on the ruins of the ancient Greek city of Byzantium.
