The Dark Secret Behind Rome's Founding | Romulus and Remus

The Founding Of Rome - Romulus and Remus Story No ancient city has so captured the modern imagination as Rome. From its mythical founding to its emergence as the dominant power on earth, first as a monarchy, then an empire and finally a republic, only to crumble from within, the world's fascination with ancient Rome seems to have no bounds. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the story of ancient Rome centers around its mythical founding by the twin brothers from which the city’s name derives - Remus and Romulus. Roman historians date the city’s founding to the year 753 BCE. The first written account of the Romulus and Remus account of the founding of Rome dates to the 3rd century BCE. The three most prominent ancient accounts of the myth are found in works by Livy, Plutarch and Dionysis. Though the vast majority of modern historians agree that Remus and Romulus were mythological figures, there are some who consider them to be real, historical figures. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to History Simplified, the most simple animated history channel on YouTube.
