The Legend of Rome
Abandoned as babes on the Tiber River, Romulus and Remus, sons of a Vestal Virgin and the war god Mars, clung to life. A she-wolf found them by the Palatine Hill, nurturing them as her own. Raised by a shepherd, the twins grew strong, uncovering their royal heritage and rightful claim to the throne. They dethroned the tyrant king, restoring their grandfather. Destiny called them to build a great city. Disagreement over the location sparked tension. In a moment of rage, Romulus killed Remus. Grief-stricken but determined, Romulus founded Rome on the Palatine Hill, forever linked to his brother's death. The legend of Rome, a city born from love, ferocity, and a tragic conflict, continues to echo through history.
