Rubens' painting "Romulus and Remus Being Found by the Wolf" was created in Flanders, specifically in Antwerp, where the artist had his studio. The painting reflects the Baroque style characteristic of Rubens, emphasizing dynamic movement and emotional intensity. It depicts the legendary story of the two brothers being nurtured by a she-wolf, a foundational myth of Rome.

How did Remus react to the city being named after Romulus?

Unfortunately, Remus didn't live long enough to see the city. There was an argument between the two brothers about where to build the new city, and at some point, Romulus killed Remus and then built Rome. Many of the legends that exist do not agree on when Remus was murdered, but they do agree that Romulus was his murderer and built Rome after his brother's death. Also, according to legend, Romulus won the right to have the city named for him by having a larger number of vultures follow him to his preferred city location on Palatine Hill.

Why did the Roman civilization begin?

As legend has it, there were two babies left out in the fields, Romulus and Remus.

Remus decided to jump over Romulus's wall mocking him for how easily he could get into his city. Romulus killed Remus, and created the city of Rome.That's just the legend though.

What are the different versions of romulus and remus?

The basic structure of the story remains the same. What differs are details. There are two version of the parentage of the twins. In the most common one their father was the god Mars. In the other, a spark from the earth impregnated their mother. The are several versions of the death of Remus. In one Romulus killed him. In others he was killed by Fabius, Romulus' commander, or by someone called celer. In another one he was not killed. There are two accounts of Romulus' death. In one he went to the sky and became a god. In the other he was murdered at a meeting of the senate and each senator took a part of his dismembered body. There is a woman, Hersilia, who in one tradition is given as Romulus' wife, and in another she is given as the wife of Hostus Hostilius, a military leader. The legend of the twins is also connected to the legend of Aeneas, a hero of the Trojan war who landed in Latium (the land of the Latins) and founded the Latin city of Lavinium. His son funded the city of Alba Longa and its royal dynasty. Making Romulus and Remus the sons of the daughter, Rhea Silvia, of the deposed king of Alba Longa connects the 400-year gap between the dates of the Trojan war and the foundation of Rome. The Romans fancied themselves as descendants of the Trojans. There are other foundation myths connected with Greek Heroes: Evander and Hercules.
