Ancient Rome: Romulus and Remus

Where did the name Rome come from? It all goes back to a legend about two twins, Romulus and Remus.

What is a legend? It's an Middle English word meaning “something to be read”. Legends are stories that are gathered and told again and again from the past. They are so old that it's hard to check if they are based on fact. The legend of Romulus and Remus tell us the legend of how a city that would rule the world came into existence and how it got its name.
