Romulus And Remus Creation Story

350 BC Ancient Romans created and or adopted an origin story because they wanted to keep up and impress older civilizations with their own rich history and mythology. Thus the story of Romulus & Remus was born. Romans would be descendants of Mars the God of War himself, touched and blessed by the divine inherently giving them the right to rule over others by any means necessary. Romulus & Remus were the sons of Mars the God of War. Their evil uncle imprisoned their mother and tried to assigned both boys. They were placed in a basket and left to drown in the river. The boys, however, were blessed and discovered by a she-wolf who took them in and raised them as her own. For those formative years, they were raised with a sense of primal
instincts and ferociousness. This made the boys strong, tough, and unforgiving. They fight and defeat their uncle and regain their birthright. Romulus and Remus decide to build a city (Rome) but fight over who the founder was and what the name of the city should be. Romulus kills Remus in a fit of rage and becomes King. This establishes how the city was founded/built and its violent history.
