In the Beginning

Rome was founded in 753 BC along the Tiber River. Romulus and Remus, who were twins born from Rhea Silvia, were abandoned by the Tiber River to die because they were a potential threat to the king. "She-wolf" found them while getting a drink, and took care of them until they were found which led to the discovery of Rome. Romulus and Remus were both eligible to rule; however, Remus was killed by his brother, leaving Romulus to lead.
In early Rome, they had many problems. One of these was that they had no women, which meant there would be no children for future generations. They threw a party, and the Roman men then began to steal the women.
