The Legend of Rome's Founding

Long before Rome became the greatest empire the world had ever seen… before the Caesars ruled,

before marble monuments touched the sky, before the legions marched in perfect formation across

continents… there was only silence. A silent hillside in central Italy dotted with a few

primitive huts, smoke rising gently from their rooftops, shepherds calling their flocks,

and farmers carving out a humble existence. This place — simple, rugged, unremarkable — would

one day become the beating heart of Western civilisation. But its rise did not begin with written

history. Its story opened with legend… and with myth. According to Roman

tradition, the tale of their city begins with two infant twins — Romulus and Remus.
