Gastone’s Rome – Romulus and Remus and the Foundation of Rome

Gastone’s Rome – Romulus and Remus and the Foundation of Rome

Today Gastone is telling us stories about the foundation of Ancient Rome in his beautiful garden in the Campagna Romana, a perfect location for ancient Roman discussions!



We have more on the story of Romulus and Remus and the foundation of Rome from last week – we’ll hear about the mysterious Vestal Virgins, Mars, the fearsome God of War as well as kidnappers, robbers and murderers – who said founding the greatest Empire the world has ever known (feel free to argue this) was going to be a peaceful affair?!

(this also calls me (Sarah) to do a painting sometime soon of the Rape of the Sabine Women in the National Gallery by Rubens… that’s to come!)

Have a lovely Saturday everyone, and stay safe xxx
