1. Romulus By : Makayla Bacon

2. Romulus He was known to be the founder of Rome. Romulus and his twin brother Remus were abandoned by their parents as babies and put into a basket that was then placed into the river Tiber. His parents were the god Rhea Silvia and Mars

3. How were they found? They were found by a female wolf, the wolf nursed the babies until they were found by a shepherd and his wife. While they were with the shepherd and his wife they took care of sheep. Until one day the boys (Romulus and Remus) decided they wanted to be kings.

4. And the building begins… It was determined that each Romulus and Remus would be in charge of a section of the new city. It was also said that Romulus section was to be twice the size of Remus. Romulus,using a plow pulled by a white cow and a white bull, cut a furrow to mark the boundary of his section. Remus,angry at his brother getting the larger part, jumped over the furrow into his brother section.

5. It All Comes Down To This… In one story they say that Romulus murdered his brother, in another story they say that Remus simply disappeared during a storm Romulus continued to build the city, that he named after him, calling it Rome!!!! And that’s how Rome came to be.

6. What Happens Now… Romulus was later defied and became associated with Quirinus, under whose name he worshipped. All this was known to have happened during 330-346 AD All of his followers were men, later on the men wanted families. He founded Rome in 735 B.C He also had followers that had gotten in trouble in other countries and took refuge here in Rome.

7. How Did He Make Families? Romulus knew that if he didn’t get women into his city, Rome would only last for one generation. So he first tried convincing neighboring towns to grant the right of intermarriage between their towns. Fearing that Rome might get to much power, every town that Romulus went to they turned down the proposals. So in order to get the women Romulus decided to steal them for his new city.

8. What were the women called? The women were called Sabine's, the men followers immediately took their choice of women. The better looking of the Sabine’s were reserved for the patricians.
