• Romulus and Remus: Date- before the foundation of Rome, after the fall of troy; Description- the twin brothers that, in the roman foundation myth, battled for the right to chose the location of their future city, Romulus killed his brother; Significance: the brother’s embodied many of the roman virtus, such as masculinity, aggressiveness, and strength.
