Come with us to the Palatine Hill and explore the history and legends surrounding Romulus and Remus.
Was
Romulus a real person? Was he really suckled by a wolf? What does a
woodpecker have to do with it? And did he really found a city on
the Palatine in April of 537 B.C.? Is there any evidence today of
Romulus's walls and of the city he left behind?
Follow
