I remember I read a different version of this story (Like they battled 1-1), and I researched it on the Internet, and this is what I found:

Romulus and Remus are supposed sons of Mars and a priestess called Rhea Silvia. The stroy started when the fromer king, Numitor (their grandfather) was disposed by his brother, Amulius. Rhea originally was not allowed to marry, because she was made Vestal Virgin by Amulius. That meant that she was made a virgin in the name of Vesta, the godess of hearth, and then she became the holy preistess of the temple. Then it is said that Mars because her spouse and she then had 2 twin boys known as: Romulus and Remus. Because Amulius was terrified, because he thought those two brothers would overthrow him from his rule, so he put them in a trough and threw them in the Tiber River with their unconsious mother, hoping they all would drown. The god Tiberinus saved Rhea, and the river flooded so the trough was washed out of the stream. They were then found by a she-wolf, who then took them in and raised them to be vicious and dominant. (They were abnormailly powerful because of the Mars parentage) When they were around a few years old, a shepard called Faustulus found them and raised them into adulthood in his own house. When they grew up, they killed Amulius, and decided to build a town where Faustulus had found them. Romulus started to build a wall, and the Remus laughed at how the walls were so low. Romulus was enraged, and slew Remus. Romulus called the city Rome (after himself) and became the sole ruler of Rome. He took a woman called Hersilia as his wife. Later on, Rome was deprived of women, so he stole many women from the Sabines, an Italian tribe. The Sabines came into war with Rome, and then had a treaty after the Sabine women decided to stay with their new husbands. The king of the Sabines, Titus Tatius, shared rule with Romulus until his death in battle. Later on, Romulus disappeared in a violent strom, and was -cont-

I feel that it's not fair when some people do a LOT of contributions (mostly junk) and get their pics BIG on the top contributors, vs. people that put a lot of thought and length into their contributions (but don't contribute so much).

Remember the saying "Quantity doesn't mean Quality". So, I don't like the wetpaint system where they have the top contributor's page. It makes you want to rush and get a lot of conrtibutions in, while you just put one sentence in each one. I think teachers should seriously think about this and perhaps give contributions a high grade too. Then, people will start to be seriously contributing and typing (because of their grades) instead of just babbling and chatting here and there. I delete all messages I recieve that I think is just junk and more junk.

Still, I'm quite impressed at how this wiki is developing! I like this wiki a LOT.

I can't really tell the difference between the two countries' gods. Are the Greek ones more known in the world than Roman ones?

Life in Rome is dangerous. My disguise ,if found out, will cost my life. As a young girl, I was entranced by the idea of democracy. A place where "anyone" could effect their daily life. But I learned ,the hard way, that all that was a lie. Only a few patricians could run for government in the shround of assassinations and deceivements. Where trust is a rare treasure and my lie as the disguise of a man made a web of complex lies. And yet, somehow I've tried to convince myself that this is for the good of everyone.

The Aqueduct is like modern day plumbing. People in Ancient Rome used the Aqueduct for washing, cleaning, drinking and many other things. We use modern day plumbing for the same reasons.
