Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
The story of Romulus and Remus is the founding myth of Rome. It is not a children's tale. It is the story of a double break: a vestal virgin who breaks her vow of chastity, then a fratricide that puts law above blood.
Roman tradition does not hide the crime. It turns it into the bedrock of a city built on the sacred boundary and on the survival of the state, more than on the family.
