The Romans probably like the legend about the twins because it tells the story of how Rome was founded. The legend is also quite entertaining, so that this might be a reason too. Many people also said that people liked to know if they were special and knowing that Romulus and Remus were the sons of a god but were ordinary people others felt special.

Who founded Rome?
According to the legend, the two brothers that founded the city of Rome were Romulus, and Remus. BUT, Romulus and Remus couldn't decide witch hill they should build Rome on. The two brothers argued until Romulus threw a brick at Remus's head. Remus died and Romulus became the first king of Rome.ROMULOS AND REMUSLegend has it that they were twins and abandoned as newly bornA she wolf raised them.The two brothers Romulus and Remus, Romulus killed Remus and gained control of the new empire. He named it after himself.However the story of them being raised by a she-wolf is a distortion. Prostitutes were banned in the city, and would howl like wolves outside the city walls soliciting custom: they were known as she-wolves. So Romulus and Remus were raised by a prostitute hired as wet nurse after their mother died.Legend says that Romulus and Remus started Rome. This is true but Romulus and Remus were ancestors of Aeneas who led a group of Trojans after the fall of Troy to where Rome now lies. They were said to have been raised by wolves and Romulus killed Remus and became king of Rome. This is of course is a myth.It was really started out of just a village formed where Rome was by the two Italian tribes of Sabine and the Latins in the 8th century. Later Etruscans settled here and turned into the Elite class of Romans. The etruscans later lost power and the originial tribed formed the republic which lasted until 27 a.d at which point it became an Empire.
Why is the story of Romulus and Remus still popular?
I suppose it is because Romulus and Remus is a classic story of sibling rivalry, like Jacob and Esau in the Old Testament. Also, Romulus and Remus were abandoned to die and were saved by the she-wolf, which implies a predestination for them.

What does lupin mean off of Harry Potter?
Lupus is the name of the wolf constellation in the Southern Hemisphere, also it is the specific name for Canis Lupus the grey wolf. I think Lupus also means wolf in Latin. Lupin is another of Rowlings semi-latin verions of words, (like her spells, they're almost Latin words) Also Lupin's first name is Remus, presumably from the story of Romulus and Remus in Roman legend: Two young boys raised by a she-wolf, who went on to found Rome and became the first Romans.
According to the legend how was the city of Rome founded?
There is evidence of villages in the area of the city dating beck to about 1,000 BCE. The buildup of the city a few hundred years later came as outcasts and criminals from cities in the region collected there as a place of refuge and carrying out predatory activities, setting up defendable settlements on the hills These became cohesive and strong enough to merge into a single city with about 50 sq miles of agricultural land. From this base came extending territory from defensive and offensive fighting. The tale of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a she-wolf seem to connect with the fact that prostitutes were not allowed inside the city and used to hang around outside the walls howling like wolves to attract patronage - so their mother was a prostitute - the story bent to remove this stigma?
How did the Greek gods and goddsses obtain Roman names?
Because the Roman Empire was after the Ancient Greeks, they were very influenced by them. For instance, the Romans kept the Greek architecture, sort of the clothing/apparel, and the Gods. They kept the same Gods from the Greeks, but just changed their names to Latin words. But the Gods didn't stay exactly the same. Most of the Gods and Goddesses from the Romans got more aggressive due to the Empire's war-like culture. Some myths and Gods stay only unique to the Greeks, and some unique to the Romans, like the She-Wolf, Romulus, and Remus.

Was the ancient roman civiliation writing copied by another civiliztion?
Romulus and Remus are Rome's twin founders in its traditional foundation myth, although the former is sometimes said to be the sole founder. Their maternal grandfather was Numitor, rightful king of Alba Longa, a faithful descendant of the Trojan prince Aeneas, and father to Rhea Silvia (also known as Ilia). Before their conception, Numitor's brother Amulius deposed his brother, killed his sons and forced Rhea to become a Vestal Virgin, intending to deprive Numitor of lawful heirs and thus secure his own position; but Rhea conceived Romulus and Remus by either the god Mars or the demi-god Hercules. When the twins were born, Amulius left them to die but they were saved by a series of miraculous interventions. A she-wolf (lupa) found them and suckled them. A shepherd and his wife then fostered them and raised them to manhood as shepherds. The twins proved to be natural leaders and acquired many followers. When told their true identities, they killed Amulius, restored Numitor to the throne of Alba Longa and decided to found a new city for themselves.Romulus wished to build the new city on the Palatine Hill but Remus preferred the Aventine Hill.[2] They agreed to determine the site through augury. Romulus appeared to receive the more favorable signs but each claimed the results in his favor. In the disputes that followed, Remus was killed.[3] Ovid has Romulus invent the festival of Lemuria to appease Remus' resentful ghost.[4] Romulus names the new city Rome after himself and goes on to create the Roman Legions and the Roman Senate. Rome's population is swelled by incomers, including landless refugees and outlaws; most are men. Romulus arranges the abduction of women from the neighboring Sabine tribes, which immediately leads to war but eventually results in the combination of Sabines and Romans as one Roman people. Rome rapidly expands to become a dominant force in central Italy, due to divine favour and the inspired administrative, military and political leadership of Romulus. In later life Romulus becomes increasingly autocratic, disappears in mysterious circumstances and is deified as the god Quirinus, the divine persona of the Roman people.The image of the she-wolf suckling the divinely fathered twins became an iconic representation of the city and its founding legend, making Romulus and Remus preeminent among the feral children of ancient mythography. The legend as a whole encapsulates Rome's ideas of itself, its origins and moral values; for modern scholarship, it remains one of the most complex and problematic of all foundation myths, particularly in the matter and manner of Remus' death. Ancient historians had no doubt that Romulus gave his name to the city. Most modern historians believe his name a back-formation from the name Rome; the basis for Remus' name and role remain subjects of ancient and modern speculation. The myth was fully developed into something like an "official", chronological version in the Late Republican and early Imperial era. Roman historians dated the city's foundation from 758 to 728 BC. Plutarch says Romulus was fifty-three at his death; his reckoning gives the twins' birth year as c. 771 BC. Possible historical bases for the broad mythological narrative remain unclear and disputed; very few modern scholars believe in the historicity of Romulus and Remus.[5]
What did the Romulus and Remus house look like?
The house of Romulus and Remus, as depicted in ancient Roman mythology, would have been a simple, rustic structure typical of early Roman dwellings. It likely featured a thatched roof and walls made of mudbrick or wattle and daub, reflecting the primitive architecture of the time. The interior would have been modest, with a central hearth for cooking and warmth, and possibly a small area for sleeping. This basic design symbolizes the humble beginnings of Rome and its mythological founders.
