Collection: Exploring Ancient Civilizations: Rome

In Roman mythology, the city was founded by Romulus: son of the war god Mars and the vestal virgin Rhea. Abandoned by the Tiber River, Romulus and his twin brother Remus were suckled by a she-wolf, where they were found and taken in by the shepherd Faustulus. The twins' quarrel over the development of a new town led to the murder of Remus and the establishment of Rome.

Ancient Roman civilization has contributed greatly to modern language, religion, society, technology, politics, literature, art, architecture, and engineering. Life in ancient Rome revolved around the city, which was located on the seven hills. The Romans spoke Latin, an Italic language which evolved from the Etruscan language.
