plantbegonias-deactivated201504:Romulus and RemusWhen they are born, the twins Romulus and Remus are abandoned to die in the river Tiber. Miraculously, the two brothers are carried to safety and a she-wolf finds the boys and suckles the brothers. Later the brothers are raised by a shepherd and his wife. Upon the discovery of their birth, the two brothers kill Amulius and restores Numitor back to his righteous throne. The two brothers are given a choice to inherit Alba Longa but the twins choose to build their own city. Romulus desires to build this new city on Palatine Hill whereas Remus prefers to build the new city on Aventine Hill. They agree to determine the site through the reading of omens but each claims the results follow in his own favor. The brothers quarrel and fight; Remus is killed. Romulus creates his new city and names it Rome. -- source link
