Romulus and Remus are perhaps the most famous of all Roman mythological individuals, the pair of them attributed with the founding of Rome. Romulus and Remus were left to die as babies when Amulius, their uncle, deposed their father and sought to rid him of all his heirs. Rather than dying in the wild however, the twins were taken in by a she-world who suckled them until a shepherd and his wife discovered them and raised the pair to manhood. When Romulus and Remus discovered their true identities, they murdered Amulius, restored their father Numitor to his rightful place as King of Alba Longa, and decided to create a new city for themselves, Rome incidentally.
The pair could not decide on which site to build the new city, Romulus preferring Palatine Hill and Remus favouring Aventine Hill. After using augury, not cloud hosting but the study of birds, to determine which site was favoured by the Gods, the pair disputed the results and Remus was killed in the disputes that followed. Romulus called the city Rome after himself and went on to create the Roman Senate and the Roman legions.
