FOUNDING OF ROME
The legend of the founding of Rome is based on the story of Romulus and Remus. There was a King that didn’t want any princesses or queen to produce offspring. One day a princess who had been impregnated by the god Mars, gave birth to twins naming them Remus and Romulus. The King was angered and commanded that his soldiers kidnap the infants and kill them. The soldiers put the babies in a basket and they accidently dropped them in the Tiber river. -

The soldiers returned to the king and told him that they had killed them. Everyone believed that Remus and Romulus had died. A she-wolf found the twins in a basket stuck on the river. The she-wolf grabbed the babies and started raising them by suckling them so they would survive. After a couple of years Romulus and Remus wanted to go far away from the She-wolf. A farmer saw two kids, he immediately recognized them, and brings them to his house. -

The farmer took care of Romulus and Remus. One-day Romulus and Remus went to visit a village, in the village they saw the King, and Romulus killed him. Romulus took two cows, and a plow. with the plow he made a circle around 8 hills. Romulus said that the land inside the circle was for the Gods and Romulus. Not even his twin brother Remus could enter the circle for the gods. One day Remus wanted to visit Romulus and enters and is killed. -

ETRUSCANS AND ROMANS I
The Etruscan shoed the Romans some religious believe and other things. I Think that the Etruscans came from the Greeks because they have a similar alphabet, and the romans got the alphabet from the Etruscans. They also got the shoes from the Etruscans. The Etruscans took the romans that there are many gods, every god has a nature simble and that they have human bodies. The Etruscans organized their towns into city-states, each ruled by a king. -
