ROCKY'S ITALY: Siena - The Foundation Myth

Показать описание
This episode recounts the foundation myth of the great medieval city of Siena, Italy, which is located in the heart of Tuscany. 14th-century Sienese government officials claimed to have found a document tracing Siena's ancestry all the way back to ancient Rome - but not to Rome's great founder, Romulus, but to his defunct brother Remus instead!

I'm a 100% proud sienese and the made up story about senius and aschius is one of the very few things I don't like about my city
