The legend of Romulus and Remus, and the founding of Rome, via this morning's Changing Landscape of Ancient Rome course:
"After Aeneas' escape from Troy and travels around the Mediterranean Sea, the Trojans eventually landed near the mouth of the Tiber River and began to assimilate with the aborigines of Latium, giving birth to a new people, the Latini.
The son of the Aeneas, named Ascanius, founded the city of Alba Longa, on Lake Albano, southeast of Rome. The last king of Alba Longa, Numitor, had a daughter named Rhea Silvia. Numitor's younger brother Amulius, usurped power from Numitor, and Amulius became king. Not wanting any conflict with the throne, Amulius killed all of Numitor's male heirs and forced Rhea Silvia to become a Vestal Virgin.
One night, Mars the God of War, appeared and lay with Rhea Silvia, after which she gave birth to twin sons Romulus and Remus. As punishment for breaking her vows of chastity, Vestal Virgins were customarily put to death by being buried alive. However, King Amulius was afraid of the wrath of Mars, and so imprisoned Rhea Silvia and ordered her twin sons Romulus and Remus be taken out into the wilderness and left to die. The servant who carried out this task, however, took pity on the two twins, and so put them in a basket and set them afloat on the River Tiber.
The twins were fortunately discovered by the she-wolf Lupa, who suckled them in order to keep them alive. Later, a shepherd and his wife, Faustulus and Acca Larentia, discovered them and took them in as their own.
Many years later when Romulus and Remus were young men, soldiers of King Amulius found them, captured Remus, and took him before the king. Romulus stealthily freed his brother from captivity and together they killed King Amulius. Rejecting the offer of the citizens to become kings of Alba Longa, Romulus and Remus instead reinstated Numitor as king, and left Alba Longa to go found their own city.
Arriving at the present location of Rome, the brothers began to quarrel over the exact location to build the city. Romulus wished to found the city on Palatine Hill, while Remus wished to found it on Aventine Hill. They agreed to consult augury, a type of prophecy in which birds are examined and observed to determine what actions the gods favored. While both of them saw many birds, neither could not decide how to interpret these signs, and so they remained at a standstill and continued to quarrel until Romulus simply began to simply dig trenches and build walls around his hill:the Palatine Hill.
In response to Romulus' construction, Remus made fun of his brother's wall and city, and when Remus finally jumped over Romulus' wall to show how useless it was, they quarreled and Romulus killed him. Realizing what he had done, Romulus mourned his brother and gave him a proper burial, bestowing upon him full funeral honors.
According to the Roman poet Livy, Remus' death and founding of Rome are dated to April 21, 753 BCE."
