Archaeologists believe they have found the cave where, according to legend, a she-wolf nursed Rome's twin founders, Romulus and Remus. They say the cave, which is decorated with sea-shells, was discovered near the ruins of the palace of Emperor Augustus. They are reasonably certain that it is the place where, according to myth, Romulus and Remus, TWIN SONS OF THE GOD MARS, were abandoned in a cradle by the banks of the river Tiber where a wolf found them and fed them with her milk. They are said to have founded Rome at the site on April 21, 753 BC and ended up fighting over who should be in charge. Romulus killed Remus and became the first king of Rome. So, do you believe this is a mere myth and legend, or that Rome did start in this way?
