[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7915666, member: 115909"]That makes sense. Yeah from what I’ve read Romulus and the kings have been called “legendary” and there seems to be zero actual proof that they existed. But I think for sure that they were based upon real people and then later had a mythology built around them. I do believe that there was a man who had a twin brother and played a large role in founding Rome. Now were they descended from Aeneas, suckled by wolves, and all that like Romulus? Doubtful. But I believe there is a kernel of truth in the stories and that Romulus and other Roman kings were based on real people who played a large role in the founding of Rome and it’s earliest days.[/QUOTE]
