LIFE WITHOUTROMULUS
With Romulus gone, therewas much uproar in Rome.
To calm the masses, theRoman senate came up with an idea.
Instead of having a king, thesenate decided to dividethemselves into ten groups of ten men.
Each group of 10 men ruled for 50 days, with one man having complete power for 5 days and then it was handed to another man for 5 days.
The senate thought that thiswould solve the problem.
The people, however, did not like this idea, complaining that instead of one master, they now had 100.
To calm the people, the senate chose a Sabine mannamed Numa to be the next king.
Numa was a very well-respectedman who was known for hisjustice and piety.
Everyone thought that Numawould be a great man to replace Romulus.
But was he?!!
