ROMULUS & REMUS.

According to the founding myth of Rome, twin brothers Romulus and Remus, who descended from the Trojan prince Aeneas and who were grandsons of the Latin King, Numitor of Alba Longa, founded the city on April 21, 753 BC. His brother deposed King Numitor from his throne, Amulius, while Numitor's daughter, Rhea Silvia, was raped and impregnated by Mars, the roman god of war. When the twins were born they were considered half divine or demi-gods.

The new king feared Romulus and Remus because he knew that the brother would take back the throne, so he ordered them to be drowned. A she-wolf (or a shepherd's wife in some accounts) saved and raised them, and when they were old enough, they returned the throne of Alba Longa to Numitor.
The twins then founded their own city, but Romulus killed Remus in a quarrel over which one of them would reign as the King of Rome, though some sources state the quarrel was about who was going to give their name to the city. Romulus became the source of the city's name. In order to attract people to the city, Rome became a sanctuary for the indigent, exiled, and unwanted. This caused a problem for Rome, which had a large workforce but was bereft of women. Romulus travelled to the neighbouring towns and tribes and attempted to secure marriage rights but as Rome was so full of undesirables they all refused. Legend says that the Latin’s invited the Sabine’s to a festival and stole their unmarried maidens, leading to the integration of the Latin and the Sabine’s.
Another legend, recorded by Greek historian Dionysius, says that Prince Aenas led a group of Trojans on a sea voyage. After a long time in rough seas, they landed at the banks of the Tiber River. Not long after they landed, the men wanted to take to the sea again, but the women who were traveling with them did not want to leave. One woman, named Roma, suggested that the women burn the ships out at sea to prevent them from leaving. At first, the men were angry with Roma, but they soon realized that they were in the ideal place to settle. They named the settlement after the woman who torched their ships.
