The twins of the semi-legendary story of the foundation of Rome were Romulus and Remus. Romulus became the founder of Rome and killed Remus. The foundation of Rome did not involve the building of a city. It involved the unification of existing settlements of the hills which were to become the seven hills of Rome.

Romulus and Remus were twin brothers. They had an argument over whether to found the Rome on the Palatine Hill or the Aventine Hill, the former favouring the Palatine and the latter favouring the Aventine. They decided to settle the dispute through augury (the divination of the omens of the gods). Looking at the flight of birds was one of the forms of augury. Romulus won the contest because more birds crossed his hill. He then build a sacred wall around the Palatine Hill. Remus spitefully leaped over the wall. In one version Romulus killed Remus for having desecrated the wall, in another one Remus is simply given as dead, in others he was given as killed by lieutenants of Romulus.

According to Roman mythology, the founders of Rome are Romulus and Remus. They were twin brothers raised by a she-wolf and went on to establish the city of Rome. Romulus eventually killed Remus and became the first king of Rome.

The founders of Rome were twin brothers, Romulous and Remus. They were abandoned when they were babies and were adopted by a she-wolf. When they were men, they decided to build an empire where they had been abandoned. However, they could not agree on the location. Therefore, they decided to wait for a sign from the gods. Romulous later saw a flock of 6 vultures and thought that it was his sign from the gods. Remus alsaw saw a flock of vultures, only their number was 12. The brothers got in a fight, and Romulous won. Romulous then built Rome.
