EARLY LIFE OF ROMULUS PART 1

Romulus was born with his brother Remus probably on 27/28

March 771 BCE, by their mother, Rhea Silvia, and their father,

the god Mars, the demi-god Hercules, or possibly Amulius. Then,

when they were born, Amulius, Rhea Silvia’s uncle, abandoned

them in the river Tiber to die, but miraculously they were saved

by a series of interferences, first the river carried them to safety,

then a female wolf suckled them, and a woodpecker fed them.

After that Faustulus, a shepherd, and his wife found and raised

them until adulthood.

EARLY LIFE OF ROMULUS PART 2

In those days shepherds had a hard life due to bandits that stole their

livestock and other items of value to them, but Faustulus, the shepherd,

was in good hands because Romulus and Remus were great at stealing

from the bandits. One day they were not so fortunate, and were surprised

by about thirty bandits and their leader, Josephus. After killing around

twenty of them, their swords finally broke, and Remus was captured. The

bandits planned to frame Remus for the crimes they committed, but this

is where the bandits are not lucky, for the landowner of the area where all

the crimes were committed was Romulus and Remus’s grandfather,

Numitor, or the rightful king of Alba Longa.

W IKIPED IA’S VERSION OF PART 2 (ALSO SO ME O F O THER SOURCE)

Remus was captured by shepherds and was

brought to Amulius, their great uncle, who believed

him to be a thief, but they soon found out his true

identity. Though meanwhile, Romulus was raising a

group of shepherds to help rescue Remus, when they

were ready they went to rescue Remus. They fought,

and Romulus’s team of shepherds defeated Amulius

and his guards, and restored Numitor to his throne.

ROMA

Romulus and Remus started a city of their own and

both wanted to start it at different places (Palatine

and Aventine hill). They decided to settle it by divine

augury, and Romulus won ( in the sense that he had

saw more birds than Remus) They fought over the

subject, and still could not come to an agreement.

Finally, something happened that settled it. Remus

jumped over the trench that separated the two hills,

and Romulus killed him.
