The legend of Rome


The legend says that after the fall of Troy the god ordered the Trojan prince Aeneas to lead his people to the promise land. When Aenea’s group reached Italy they joined forces with the Latins. In 800 B.C. The Latin Princes gave birth to two twins the father was Mars. But the Princess had taken an oath never to have children. Sense she broke the promise she was punished Romulus and Remus were taken from her and left to die on the bank of the Tiber. But then a she-wolf came and took care of them. Then one day a shepherd killed the she-wolf and found the babies and he took them. When the boys grew older they built a city on Tiber. They let the gods pick who should rule city between the two of them. Each of them climed to the top of different hill tops to look for a sign from a god. Then 12 cultures flew over the Palatine sense Romulus stood atop the Platine he was claimed to be king he and Remus then fought he was killed. Romulus became king of the city so it was named Rome
