Romulus & Remus Argue The brothers quarrelled over the location of the foundation of their new city; Romulus wished to start the city on the Palatine Hill, while Remus wished to found it on the Aventine Hill.

The myth of Romulus and Remus was used to explain the early history of Rome. It played an important role in the public religion of the Republic and later the Empire.

Although the tale takes place before the founding of Rome around 750 BC, the earliest known written account of the myth is from the late 3rd century BC. Possible historical basis for the story, as well as whether the twins’ myth was an original part of Roman myth or a later development, is a subject of ongoing debate.

Even though Romulus had seen more birds, Remus argued that he had seen them first and therefore the city should be built on the Aventine Hill. Meanwhile, Romulus began to build a wall on his hill, which Remus decided to jump over. Angered by his brother’s action, Romulus killed him.

Romulus and Remus were twin brothers. They were abandoned by their parents as babies and put into a basket that was then placed into the River Tiber. The basket ran aground and the twins were discovered by a female wolf. This left Romulus the sole founder of the new city and he gave his name to it – Rome.

Out of respect for his brother, Amulius left Numito’s daughter, Rhea Silvia, alive. To ensure that she would never produce any heirs to his throne he ordered her to become a Vestal Virgin. He imprisoned Rhea Silvia and ordered his servants to drown the twins.

As Vestal Virgins were sworn to celibacy, this would ensure the line of Numitor had no heirs. Rhea, however, became pregnant with the twins Romulus and Remus by the god Mars. According to Plutarch, she believed this because she saw her children being cared for by a wood pecker and a wolf – animals sacred to Mars.

Remus is Killed Romulus went ahead and started building a wall around Palantine Hill. However, Remus was jealous and began to make fun of Romulus’ wall. At one point Remus jumped over the wall to show how easy it was to cross.

When Romulus built a city wall, Remus jumped over it and was killed by his brother. Romulus consolidated his power, and the city was named for him.

The founding of Rome Once they were grown, Romulus and Remus founded the city of Rome. Angered, Romulus killed Remus. He regretted it, and took Remus to Amulius’s palace, and buried him there.
