Romulus

The Rome we know today is much different than it was when it first started. When it first started it was all about geography. One major part of geography was the Tiber River, it supplied water and a way to travel.

The seven mountains were also a huge bonus because we're able to protect themselves against further attacks. With Rome being a place where people could easily cross…

Myth uses the medium of a story to describe the activities of the gods and larger than life humans, emphasising interpersonal relationships. These stories were neither singular nor static but evolved with different versions and were manipulated to highlight different values and ideologies. I agree with the statement and will argue that the myths of Hippolytus and the foundation myths of Roman were used by ancient societies to bind its members into a cohesive unit.

The influential and dominant Roman Empire fell due to overexpansion which led to the Empire being split and created vulnerability among the Empire. When Romulus Augustus died, the Roman Empire lost sight of their polytheistic and slave driven society, which lead to disagreement of right and wrong amidst the people. After Romulus Augustus no one man was able to govern the whole Roman Empire, this forced Diocletian to divide Rome into two Empires, the Western and Eastern Empire. Once Rome had lost…

Numa saw that the people of Rome made foolish decision in the times of Romulus and banished implosive anger from his life. Numa went to become king, not for his own benefits, but…

Greeks were Indo- Europeans who migrated into Greece, a small country in southeastern Europe, around 1900 B.C. Ancient Romans believe Rome, a boot-shaped Italian Peninsula that juts out into the Mediterranean Sea, was founded around 753 B.C. by Romulus.
