Founding of Rome
Twin babies sent away in a basket. Princess was told “no airs allowed in my kingdom!” I can understand that the kings in that era were very selfish. Basket with the twins was left in the Tiber River to die. The she wolf found the babies, adopts the twins, and takes care of them. -

Tomds of gold
Some Etruscan tombs are entirely underground. Some are half above ground. This tells me that the Etruscans believed in the underworld and after life. Many are covered under conical mounds.
