That moment when you are studying for a WW1 project and need context so you go to 1871 to when the German Empire was founded, then 1806 to when the HRE was dissolved, then 1299 to when the Ottoman Empire was founded, then 1453 to when Constantinople fell, and then year 800 because you were curious as to how the HRE was founded, and now your at 753 BC because you wanted to know some more about Rome.

*Romulus* : "Let's populate this city."
*Sheppards* : "But we're only men."
*Romulus* : "I don't know, let's just try out some stuff."

“Raised by wolves” is often a famous line because of the she wolf that watched over the infant Romulus and Remus until the shepherd came to raised them both.

Okay, when you said that you were doing it this year, I genuinely didn’t think you were going to start today.

Even if the founding of Rome is considered a myth. It is just fascinating how the romans viewed the self’s as becoming civilized from their founding and how they love redemption stories. The best way to study a culture is to study its myths.

[Oblivion]

The title of the video feels like Rome was an real estate company lol

Nicely informative video. It was interesting hearing another story besides the already well-told one that this video started out with.

5:55 Aeneas is not described as the founder of Rome in the Aeneid. His son founded Alba Longa, and his descendant was Romulus, but he did not found Rome.

I wouldn’t doubt the Odysseus hypothesis. That man went far and wide during his journey back to Ithaca. And also he was a great and smart warrior whom
the Romans shouldn’t doubt or be ashamed of if he were their ancestor.

[Vespr]

You know what amazes me most? Its the fact tha this origin story made its way to the history books and is still told as the begining of the Roman Empire

[Outspoken.Humanist]
