THE PEOPLE’S ROLE IN THE POWERPOINT
Rhea Silvia – mother of Romulus and Remus
Numitor – Rhea Silvia's dad, and grandfather of Romulus
and Remus, also rightful king of Alba Longa
Amulius – great uncle of Romulus and Remus and
unrightful king of Alba Longa, also possible father of
Romulus and Remus
Faustulus – shepherd who raised Romulus and Remus
with his wife
EARLY LIFE OF ROMULUS PART 1
Romulus was born with his brother Remus probably on 27/28
March 771 BCE, by their mother, Rhea Silvia, and their father,
the god Mars, the demi-god Hercules, or possibly Amulius. Then,
when they were born, Amulius, Rhea Silvia’s uncle, abandoned
them in the river Tiber to die, but miraculously they were saved
by a series of interferences, first the river carried them to safety,
then a female wolf suckled them, and a woodpecker fed them.
After that Faustulus, a shepherd, and his wife found and raised
them until adulthood.
EARLY LIFE OF ROMULUS PART 2
In those days shepherds had a hard life due to bandits that stole their
livestock and other items of value to them, but Faustulus, the shepherd,
was in good hands because Romulus and Remus were great at stealing
from the bandits. One day they were not so fortunate, and were surprised
by about thirty bandits and their leader, Josephus. After killing around
twenty of them, their swords finally broke, and Remus was captured. The
bandits planned to frame Remus for the crimes they committed, but this
is where the bandits are not lucky, for the landowner of the area where all
the crimes were committed was Romulus and Remus’s grandfather,
Numitor, or the rightful king of Alba Longa.
W IKIPED IA’S VERSION OF PART 2 (ALSO SO ME O F O THER SOURCE)
Remus was captured by shepherds and was
brought to Amulius, their great uncle, who believed
him to be a thief, but they soon found out his true
identity. Though meanwhile, Romulus was raising a
group of shepherds to help rescue Remus, when they
were ready they went to rescue Remus. They fought,
and Romulus’s team of shepherds defeated Amulius
and his guards, and restored Numitor to his throne.
ROMA
Romulus and Remus started a city of their own and
both wanted to start it at different places (Palatine
and Aventine hill). They decided to settle it by divine
augury, and Romulus won ( in the sense that he had
saw more birds than Remus) They fought over the
subject, and still could not come to an agreement.
Finally, something happened that settled it. Remus
jumped over the trench that separated the two hills,
and Romulus killed him.
ROMULUS’S DEATH
Romulus mysteriously disappeared in a storm or
whirlwind, during or shortly after offering public
sacrifice at or near the Quirinal Hill.
