The Romans
The Romans were among the greatest civilisations to exist throughout history. They were great architects and built buildings such as the Coliseum and the amphitheatres. The army was very well disciplined and trained, which helped it to reach the heights that they did.
How Rome was founded Romulus & Remus
Romulus and Remus were twin boys. They were the sons of Mars (god of war). An evil uncle took them from birth and threw them into the River Tiber to drown. However the babies survived and they drifted to land, a mother wolf brought the babies up as her own. Many years later, their father, Mars, told his twin sons to build a city at the place they were found. The city was called Rome. At some point, Remus ridiculed the wall Romulus had built around the city. The twins argued, and later fought and Romulus killed Remus.
