The Legend Of Romulus And Remus

The most well-known myth involving the twin brothers Romulus and Remus is the fable of Romulus and Remus. The story of Romulus and Remus most likely began in the fourth century BCE and was written down in a coherent manner by the end of the third. It combines aspects from the Greek and Roman cultures. The story starts with the parents of the twins, Mars and Rhea Silvia, leaving them when they were quite little. To be floated to a new location, both boys were placed in a basket and dropped into the Tiber River. Until a female wolf discovered them and saved them, the baskets floated across the river.

The twins, who were raised by Faustulus and his wife Acca Larentia, led a group of intrepid youths who eventually killed Amulius and returned their grandfather to the throne. They then established a settlement on the spot where they had been saved. They started out as farmers and shepherds in a village, but they eventually moved back to Alba Longa's hometown. As a result of their arguments in favor of Numitor, Amulius and Remus were imprisoned in Alba Longa. When they both discovered their true identities, they started to argue on where to put the city. Due to Remus's death during the battle, Romulus was left to create Rome by himself. Rome and the Roman Empire as a whole have since advanced in every field and influenced everyone.
