The legend of the origin of Rome

In ancient times, Amulius, the younger brother of Italian King Aniluga, usurped the throne, killed the prince and forced the princess to become a priest. In 77 1 BC, after the princess gave birth to a pair of twin brothers, Amulius sent people to throw the children into the Tiber River. Fortunately, they were rescued by a female wolf and lived on wolf's milk.

Later, they were adopted by a shepherd and named romulus and remus. According to legend, the two brothers founded the city of Rome in 2 1 BC and in April 753. They killed each other for control. Later, romulus killed remus and became the first king of Rome.

In the 6th century BC, Roman sculptors created a bronze sculpture of "Mother Wolf Nurtures Baby". Today, the emblem of Rome is still a picture of a female wolf feeding two boys.

History of Roman architecture;

The city of Rome is located in the Latin plain of Apennine Peninsula in the middle of the Mediterranean. There is a Tiber River on the Latin Plain, and the city of Rome is on the hill on the left bank of the Tiber River, about 100 km from the coast. In the early iron age, agricultural villages were formed. Later, a branch of Latin came here to establish a stronghold. With the development of economy and the increase of population, cities have been established.

At that time, it was the 7th century BC, a little later than the time when romulo was built in myths and legends. With the establishment of the city, the Roman state was also formed, which experienced two periods: * * * * and the state and empire.

From the 5th century BC to the 3rd century BC, Rome was unified by a small city-state. Later, it conquered the vast areas in the western and eastern Mediterranean, owned Spain, France, Greece, Syria, Egypt and North Africa today, and established the largest slave empire in ancient times.
