They were twin sons of Mars, the god of war. An evil uncle tried to drown the boys in the Tiber River, which runs through present-day Rome. They were rescued by a wolf who raised them as her own. Many years later, Romulus built a city on Palantine, one of the Seven Hills of Rome. The city was named after him. The manager of our hotel suggested we see ancient Rome first. So we hopped on the metro and headed to the Roman Forum. According to my guidebook, this was once the commercial, political, and religious center of ancient Rome. Today, ruins of buildings, arches, and temples are all that are left of ancient Rome. I closed my eyes for a moment, and I could almost hear the shouts of a long-ago political rally. I especially liked the house of the Vestal Virgins. It once had 50 rooms and was attached to the Temple of Vesta. She was the goddess of fire. The nearby Colosseum was originally called the Flavian Amphitheater. It reminded me of a huge sports stadium. Emperor Vespasian began building it in A.D. 72. It had 80 entrances, including 4 just for the emperor and his guests. It had 3 levels of seats with an awning along the top to protect spectators from the sun and rain. It could hold up to 50,000 people!”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lisa Halvorsen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/lisa-halvorsen/ancient-rome-according-to-legend-the-ancient-city-of-rome-was-built/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/852/lisa-halvorsen-53040_ancient-rome_ancient-rome-according-to-legend-the-anc_2479554.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/852/lisa-halvorsen-53040_ancient-rome_ancient-rome-according-to-legend-the-anc_2479554.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/852/lisa-halvorsen-53040_ancient-rome_ancient-rome-according-to-legend-the-anc_2479554.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Ancient Rome According to legend, the ancient city of Rome was built by Romulus and Remus.
