This is a story about the Founding of Rome. Why is it called Rome and not Reme? Romans are descendants from Aeneas or Eneas, who was the son of Venus. He had a grandson named Numitor who was the king of Alba Longa and he had a daughter called Rhea Silvia.
His brother Amulius was plotting against him to take his throne. He put his daughter in Vestal Temple and she was not allowed to have children being a Vestal. She meets Ares, the god of war though and Ares has a crush on her and they had two babies. Amulius throws the babies on the river Tiber. The babies are found and raised by a she wolf and fed by a woodpecker and later on they are raised by a Sheppard named Faustulus.
When they became grown ups they revenged their grand father and pushed away Amelius.
They wanted to have their own city.
They moved back to the place where the she wolf found them. They were fighting because Romulus wanted the city on Aventine hill and Remus wanted the city on Palatine hill. As a result they decided to look for a sign from gods (called auguri). Romulus wins . They established their territories on Aventine and Palatine hills.
Remus mocks Romulus territory. Romulus kills Remus in a fight. In conclusion, later on, Romulus established the city of Rome. Therefore he was the first king of Rome.
