What is the story of Romulus and Remus?

Answer 1

No, actually we just talked about this in social studies in my sixth grade social studies class! Today, and we actually said that they did come from there and theyb were found by wolves and raised by shephards. Afterwards, I think Romulus made fun of his brother romus and then Romus killd him, and declared himself king of rome, and named the city after himself, Romus and Rome!! And this is all just a legend i don't know if it is true but wolves would not help people, they eat them, so idk what actually happened this is just what i know happened \!

Answer 2

Romulus and Remus were twin sons of the Roman god Mars and a Priestess. As a priestess their mother was forbidden from marrying or having children and as punishment her and her children were condemned to death. Her exact fate varies depending on the version of the story but the children are abandoned by the edge of the river after the person who was told to kill them could not bring himself to do so.

The twins were protected by the river diety Tiberius and were nursed by a she wolf (in some traditions this she wolf is a godess) before being found by a shepherd who took them home with him and raised them as his own. As they grew they were loved by all who knew them for their good qualities.

A series of events lead the brothers to decide to found their own city, though they argued over where it should be, looking for a sign from the gods, Romulus is favoured. Remus mocked Romulus for his choice of location and in the most popular version of the tale Remus is then killed by Romulus. The city founded by Romulus in about 330AD was named Rome, after Romulus.

Summary:

Romulus and Remus' story started in the city of Troy where they were born, then they were thrown in the Tiber River in a basket. then a she-wolf came and cared for them. a sheperd came along and cared for the two twins. Romulus and Remus built Rome and couldn't deside who to name the city after. they fought and Romulus won so the city was named Rome.
