ROMULUS

In Roman mythology, Romulus and his twin brother Remus were sons of Mars and Rhea Sylvia. The brothers and their mother were cast into the river Anio, the mother was turned into a goddess and the two brothers were washed ashore and suckled by a she-wolf. After they had founded Rome,
Romulus killed his brother Remus and made the capital an asylum for homicides and fugitive slaves. Women being few in the city Romulus held sacred games, inviting to them the Latins and the Sabines. In the middle of the games Roman youths seized the maidens from among the guests and made off with them. The result was a war, ended through the mediation of the Sabine women. The Romans and Sabines subsequently united into one. Romulus reigned jointly with the Sabine king Titus Tatius, until Tatius died and later
Romulus was carried off into heaven in a fiery chariot by his father, Mars.
