Romulus and Remus are characters created by Rome, for their origin story, when they adopted Greece's gods and goddesses. Romulus and Remus are twins, who their mother, Rhea Silvia, claimed the god of war, Mars (Greek counterpart: Ares), as their father. Although Mars is claimed as their father, and the two are considered legendary figures, Romulus and Remus do not have any notable powers. Alba Longa is a city on the coast of Italy, which the ruler eventually became a king named Numitor. But the

The Journey of "Romulus and Remus" Many centuries ago,in the kingdom of Latium there lived a king named Numitor who was dethroned by his evil brother Amulius who also kidnapped Princess Silvia(Numitor's daughter) and locked her into the temple of "Mars". Amulius hoped that Princess Silvia wouldn't give birth to any child/ren who could reclaim the kingdom/throne.However his plan failed as she married Mars(god of war) and gave birth to twins "Romulus and Remus"(1717BC).

The king where the boys lived was scared that someday Romulus and Remus would overthrow him and take his throne. So he had the boys left in a basket on the Tiber River. He figured they would soon die. The boys were found by a she-wolf. The wolf cared for them and protected them from other wild animals. A nice woodpecker helped to find them food. Eventually some shepherds happened

Did a boy named Romulus and his brother named Remus really found Rome? Most people think they don’t actually exist and they didn’t found Rome. It tells that Romulus and Remus are mythological and others think they are because what they tell about them you have to believe in them as if they were a god.

Romulus and Remus were associated with the establishment of Rome.The brothers wanted to control a city together. The brothers soon went to look for the location of the so-called city. They decided to choose one of Rome's’ seven hills. Romulus killed Remus because he had made fun of his city. Remus did this by jumping over a wall Romulus had built around his city. In an angered rage he killed Remus and later regretted it. When Romulus and Remus were babies they were thrown into a river by their

The myth of Romulus and Remus, retold by writers such as Livy and Ovid, provided a rough model of Roman leadership for future Roman generations, with Romulus in particular embodying Roman values and exclusively portrayed as a good king. Much of their mythic narrative reflects the political realities of the Res Publica and the empire; these realities shaped the way that their story was told by different generations, the past often being used to justify the present. The qualities of the model Roman
