Founding of rome

It all started when the king’s daughter Reah Silva was banished to the Temple of Mars so she couldn’t have children to over take the throne. Reah Silva married Mars and they had two children; Romulus and Remus. As soon as the king found out, he sent two assassins to throw the boys into the river. The plan didn’t work, however, because one day a she-wolf found the two boys crying in some reeds.

The story of Romulus & Remus

She brought them up until their 8th year. One day they were playing chase and a herdsman found them. When the two boys were sleeping he crept into their cave and took them to his house.They helped the herdsman do his jobs and in their spare time they were fighting robbers and giving the goods back to their owners. One day their grandfather heard about their good deeds and asked to interview them.

The story of Romulus & Remus

He told them about the assassination plan and in the night the two boys raided the castle and killed their uncle (the king) and went to the temple of Mars to save their Mum.They returned to their father (the herdsman) and to celebrate their victory and return of their Mum, they built a city.

The story of Romulus & Remus

The boys began to argue about what to name the city. Remus wanted to call the city Reme and Romulus wanted to call it Rome and the fight got so brutal, it ended when Remus lay dead on the floor.
