00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:10.720
Hey. My name is Susana Castellano
de su Huiría and I welcome you to

2
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:17.199
the new episode of Sherezada' s
stories. Today we will talk about the

3
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:23.839
rhombus and rowing and the mythical explanation
of the origins of Rome. Titus Livius,

4
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:34.799
between the centuries I and C.
He was the first Latin writer to

5
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:41.000
devote himself to the complete study of
the history of his homeland, after a

6
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:46.640
clear and living picture of the vicissitudes
and evolution of Rome. But in relation

7
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:52.320
to the origins of the city it
could not be based on authentic testimonies,

8
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:59.920
since the ancient Romans had no written
tradition of that remote newspaper. The Latin

9
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:07.480
literature law began only in the second
half of the third century A Christ and

10
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:12.799
historical sources concerning the city' s
principles were restricted to rare chronicles of the

11
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:19.879
fourth century A Christ and to some
lists of magistrates after the fifth century B

12
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:26.680
C. C. On the period
of kings, I begin in seven hundred

13
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:32.000
and fifty- three BC. C, approximately and the principles of the Republic

14
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:37.879
at the beginning of the five hundredth
century to Christ, approximately. Practically there

15
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:46.000
were no written documents, but only
oral traditions that were recorded in the memory

16
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:53.000
of the Romans and transmitted through generations
as valuable memories. But, as it

17
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:59.280
was necessary to determine an origin for
the city that dominated the world, the

18
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:06.000
legend was presented the da as history. Some proud patrician families of important ancestors

19
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:12.800
participated in the creation of collective legends, narrating alleged epics in which their ancestors

20
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:20.759
would have been involved and even establishing
ties with the Trojan hero Aeneas, the

21
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:27.800
son of Aphrodites, named Venus by
the Romans and through this or other hero,

22
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:34.120
with the parents gods of those heroes. When towards the end of the

23
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:39.680
Republic, the structure of the State
was conflicted by internal struggles, the Romans

24
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:46.840
lived from the memory of their past
and projected in it ideals of power and

25
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.960
models of moral behavior. The more
acute they became to the political crisis they

26
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:59.639
were going through, the more haughty
the image of ancient Rome returned. The

27
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:05.719
result of the fusion between present power
and the imagination of a glorious past shaped

28
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.840
a political program that the Romans tried
to establish and follow at that time.

29
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.879
The works of the great historians referring
to the wars and characters of the distant

30
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:24.199
past acquired greater importance. They served
to form public opinion on the last period

31
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:30.680
of the Republic and the beginning of
the imperial epoch, this at the beginning

32
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:36.599
of forty- four BC. C. Later the interest of the scholars was

33
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:43.000
only in relation to the specific period
in which they were written for the modern

34
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.759
and critical reconstruction of the origins of
Rome. All these traditions and legends have

35
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:57.280
little interest, but some mythical accounts
contain facts confirmed by excavations made in Roman

36
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:02.439
territory. The founding of the city, for example, would have really happened

37
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.719
in the 8th century B C.
C. The traditional date is the twenty

38
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:11.560
- first of April of the seven
hundred and fifty- three BC. C.

39
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.279
And the presence of the Sabins next
to the Latinos in the population of

40
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:21.959
Rome seems correct. By funding the
legend and the results of the long archaeological

41
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:30.480
research, you can draw the first
more or less true paintings of Rock'

42
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.399
s history. The site where Rome
rises is covered by the Tiber River.

43
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:40.680
In that river there is an island
through which the waters could be easily waded.

44
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.680
In that place forced passage between the
Etruscan and the Satium, between the

45
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.360
sea and the mountains Salt Route was
built a bridge, ferits were made and

46
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:59.120
the roads were watched in the shade
of rrios of shepherds or farmers that constitutes

47
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:04.439
the first nucleus of population of Rome. They soon moved on. Thus the

48
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:11.920
so- called seven primitive hills and
although they did not form a single city,

49
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:17.120
they joined together in a confederation called
Seventhium, meaning the seven hills.

50
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:24.319
In the middle of the 7th century, before Christ, during the march towards

51
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:30.199
a long- standing campaign, the
Etruscans seized the villages of the hills and

52
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:36.439
Lazio. They then transformed the Seventhium, to which the northern Sabin villages and

53
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:44.399
the Capitol joined into a true city. They built the first wall of protection,

54
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.800
drained the marsh area that was later
called the forum, built the temple

55
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:57.160
of Jupiter, called Zeus by the
Greeks on the Capitol. They divided the

56
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:01.680
inhabitants into four districts and pas and
to consolidate their power, they created a

57
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:09.800
garrison. All these facts allow for
a conclusion. Etruscan kings seem to have

58
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:15.079
been the true founders or at least
the organizers of Rome. The name of

59
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:21.079
the city itself would have Etruscan Ruma
origin and its founder, according to legend,

60
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:29.800
rhomulus used Etruscan rites for its foundation. As dark as the origin of

61
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.120
Rome is the origin of Roman myths. It is possible that the succession of

62
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:40.519
the first kings, for example,
or the foundation of Rome by the union

63
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.560
of the Latin colonists with the Sabins
will not pass from being a historical projection

64
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:53.480
of the old mythical theme that is
also found in the mythology of other peoples

65
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:59.360
of the Indo- European linguistic group. The myth that primitively justified the founding

66
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:08.560
hierarchy of the indi- European cities, as George Dumessimo points out to us,

67
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:15.199
concerned with organizing social life and justifying
the institutions that guaranteed the security of

68
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:21.360
the State, the Romans conferred on
myths an authority proper to historical self-

69
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:27.519
occurrences, as well as the legend
of the rapture of the Sabinas, explains

70
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.959
some details of the Conjugal life of
that time. In Roman houses, the

71
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:35.759
role of the wife consisted of and
wool nursing the children, cooking the food,

72
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:44.959
directing the slaves and managing the household
in sum. It had no public

73
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.639
powers of a political and administrative nature. He lived at home where he received

74
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:55.360
all the honors in the myth.
Those who really ended the war between the

75
00:07:55.439 --> 00:08:01.560
Romans and Sabins were women and there
is evidence that there was a ritual in

76
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.399
the society of that time. When
she married, the wife was to be

77
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:11.680
charged by the husband as if he
were carrying her away. The mythical imagination

78
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:18.079
of the Romans was sometimes in effect, regressive. They created legends to justify

79
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:26.120
rites and customs of the past is, just as they formed pairs of kings

80
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.959
as titotácio rhomulus. Such a scheme
also appears in the institution of the consuls

81
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.720
who acted two by two. The
peer council perhaps reflected the need to avoid

82
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:46.399
absolute monarchy. As for religious rites, they originated legends intended to explain an

83
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:54.360
existing reality. There are a series
of narratives related to Roman temples that provide

84
00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:03.799
material for mythical elaboration. Then let' s talk about the double image of

85
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:09.759
han In the war between Sabins and
Romans arises the figure of the Janus god.

86
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:15.879
It is a very ancient divinity that
does not correspond in other Indo-

87
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.519
European mythologys. He represented it on
the coins with a man already bearded,

88
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.399
already in green, sometimes and always
with two faces. That' s what

89
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.799
characterizes it. Both the meaning of
his name and his original character. They

90
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:39.039
' re uncertain. Cicero about the
first century BC, relates the word hano,

91
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:46.000
Latin and anus to the root of
the verb ir it. Some modern

92
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:52.000
authors assume that the name may be
an alteration of day root dianes to shine.

93
00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:00.840
Others relate it to already a door
meaning the god who has watched the

94
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:07.799
entrances and facilitates the exits. Perhaps
from that character of his, the two

95
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:13.240
- faced representation originated. Anu was
also revered as the guardian god of all

96
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:20.840
silences. It was the Matutinus,
part of the father of the morning,

97
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:26.080
the beginning of the day. The
first Roman month was called Ianuarius in his

98
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:33.399
homage, which today we have Chanory
in English, for having him as a

99
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.840
formator of the world. The beginning
of all things was the so- called

100
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:48.399
Ianus pater In the fastos Ovidio identifies
him with the chaos of the Greeks.

101
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:58.679
Let us remember that the Romans are
going to reinterpret many of the Greek myths

102
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:03.279
their presence in the EU war would
be a kind of warning that it would

103
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:09.120
be coming to an end. They
would close the war as it closed and

104
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.399
open everything. For that reason he
received the epithets of Atuleius, the one

105
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:20.799
who opens and Clusus the one who
closes. As Agonius protected the particular professional

106
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:26.000
activity of individuals. He could also
associate him with procreation as God, who

107
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:33.039
helped the biological phenomenon in all its
phases. In this attribution was invoked under

108
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:39.039
the name of Concibius, the sower
in his fragments of the salary carmines,

109
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.440
the hymns, of the sages,
priests of marte ares for the Greeks,

110
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:50.240
whose writing is attributed to King Numa
Pompiliu. Between the century AUI and SEVII

111
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:58.720
A of Christ Hanus, he is
invoked as the supreme God in various prayers.

112
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.879
Its name p pres sns day to
Jupiter. Some traditions regard him as

113
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:11.799
a civilizing hero elevated to the status
of divinity according to such version would have

114
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:18.440
reigned in the region of Rome together
with Camesas, a mythical figure of which

115
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.799
only the name is known. He
would also have built a city on Mount

116
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:30.000
Janiculous called in his honor married to
Camise O Camasense. It is said that

117
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:35.639
he had Tibes among other children,
who later named the river after the death

118
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.679
of Cameses Hano Kingdom. They are
the Leyentas ascribe to him the introduction of

119
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.320
ships and fashion in the customs of
ancient peoples. Thus, the ancient Roman

120
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.240
coins presented on one side the image
of God and on the other the bow

121
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.679
of a ship. The first temple
of Jano in Rome was erected by numa

122
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:03.720
pompilio in the forum area. The
doors were permanently open during the war.

123
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:16.519
Let' s talk now about the
origins. Romulo and Remo were the children

124
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:24.159
of secrecy. The inheritance will be
divided. Amulius and Numitor look forward to

125
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:31.279
receiving their share of goods and power
Silvio procas. His dying father does not

126
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.879
know that his children and his own
people will not mourn his death. All

127
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.480
they care about is knowing who will
keep the riches and who will receive the

128
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:48.600
throne of alba longa head of the
asio. Finally, on his bed of

129
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:56.320
agony, Rocks decides Numitor will receive
the kingdom and Amulius will keep the treasures.

130
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:01.559
As soon as his father dies,
Amulius against him treats a mercenary army,

131
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.440
invades the royal palace and seizes the
crown. The people do not reveal

132
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:11.840
themselves in unsavory Nonitor. He runs
away leaving his two sons in the possession

133
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:18.279
of the usurper. After killing his
nephew, Amulio tries to prevent Rea Silvia,

134
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.320
daughter of Nunitor, from having male
offspring. It therefore obliges the beautiful

135
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:31.720
young woman to enter the college of
the Vestal virgins and to devote herself to

136
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:37.120
the cult of the kissing goddess known
as the Beast by the Romans. Saving

137
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:43.679
chastity, s Rea Silvia would,
however, have another destiny. One day

138
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:50.000
I walked through the sacred fields in
search of water for daily sacrifice. When

139
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.840
it was spotted by Mars, the
god of war. Suddenly in love,

140
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:01.799
the god approached the vestal and deduced
himself to us the young woman, engendering

141
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.120
in her two twins. At the
birth of the children, Amulio covers the

142
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:13.960
matter because, denouncing that the vestal
has broken its vows would put evidence that

143
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:18.320
there is offspring of numitor and orders
to place the creatures in a basket and

144
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:24.120
that it is thrown to the river
Tiber rea Silvia weeps. But nothing can

145
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:31.039
make Mars, the father of those
unfortunate children, take care of saving them.

146
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:35.759
The waters of the Tiber skyrocket due
to the rain and flood the banks.

147
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.480
A current leads to the basket of
newborns at the foot of Mount Sermalo,

148
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.279
one of the schisms of the Palatine, and deposits, next to the

149
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.039
fig tree a wolf sent by Mars. As the waters go down, breastfeed

150
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:56.399
the twins Romulus and row the secret
union of God. Mars and the bestal

151
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:03.799
rea Silvia were born rhomulu breastfed by
a wolf raised by a shepherd and his

152
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.480
wife. Years later, they returned
to alba longa to do justice and found

153
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:15.200
a great city, but only Romulo
finished the company. The first years of

154
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:19.600
Romulus and Remo' s life were
very similar, but in adulthood, both

155
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:26.639
brothers ended up fighting each other.
But it is worth remembering that, in

156
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:32.480
order to remove any threat to his
usurped throne, the sovereign Amulius sent to

157
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:37.360
throw the viber to his nephew grandsons
Romulus and Remo, but dragged by the

158
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:42.320
current, the basket that carried the
children was to lie at the foot of

159
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:48.399
the mountain being Bad. There they
were breastfed by a wolf sent by Mars,

160
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.720
their divine father and a shepherd adopted
the sons of God. Mars.

161
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:59.519
The afternoon ends in the shade of
a Faustulo tree. The pastor rests from

162
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.279
the long day' s work.
The slight breeze refreshes his sweaty body.

163
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:11.759
The dream gradually approaches, wrapping it
meekly. His eyelids are closing. Fausto

164
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.000
doesn' t burst for sinking into
the dream world. When a joyful shout

165
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:21.519
wakes him up, the shepherd opens
his eyes. Two beautiful and pink children

166
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:26.519
play carelessly with a wolf, caress
the legs of the animal, pull his

167
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:33.319
hair, breastfeed from his milk.
With curiosity, Fausto raises him from his

168
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.319
grass bed and walks towards the group. Anyway, at a certain distance it

169
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:44.599
stops looking at the wolf trying to
guess his reaction. The animal rewards its

170
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.759
gaze with meekness. There' s
no danger. The shepherd approaches the three

171
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.720
strange creatures, kneels next to them
and mute of emotion before great mystery,

172
00:17:53.079 --> 00:18:00.480
begins to contemplate them arrobado and entertaining. Time passes calms down and quiets down.

173
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:04.839
The night becomes dencia when fou only
finally makes a decision. He takes

174
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:10.079
the children in his arms with a
respectful look. He says goodbye to the

175
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:15.000
wolf and leaves for his cabin.
Here Larentia, his wife receives the little

176
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.200
ones as if they were the children
for whom she in vain begs the gods.

177
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:25.119
For years later, she bathes them
in water, warm, wraps them

178
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:30.559
soft diapers and grinds them with sweet
lullabys. A variant of the legend says

179
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.119
that the wolf was none other than
here, whose nickname was magnifying glass in

180
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.960
Latin loba, either because of its
strong character or because it had been a

181
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:44.720
prostitute in a whorehouse in the til
lupanar in its youth in the shepherd'

182
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.279
s house. Romulus and Remo learn
the customs of humans, but keep the

183
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:53.000
power inherited from God Mars and the
vigor and courage transmitted by the wolf.

184
00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:02.720
The king of Alba Longa regains his
power. Faustulo and his wife taught the

185
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:07.119
twins everything they knew. They made
us grow in respect for divine laws and

186
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:14.559
nature. We were instructed in the
treatment of animals and custody. The flocks

187
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:21.680
showed them the different stocks between the
plants and how they could invoke the gods

188
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:27.839
and obtain their favors. It was
time to send them to receive further instruction

189
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:33.039
in a real city and the pastor
took them to Gaby There. Romulo and

190
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:38.640
Remo learned to skillfully use the bow
and arrow. They revealed the mysteries of

191
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:47.039
writing and learned the difficult art of
justly administering the property of a community.

192
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:52.119
Then they returned to Faustulo' s
cabin at the foot of Mount Palatino and,

193
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:57.400
as if they had forgotten the lessons
of their teachers, they began to

194
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:02.920
shepherd the flocks. They were happy
to live in simplicity until the day we

195
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.839
oar. He was displeased with some
companions because of a robbery and was led

196
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.319
before the Amul King The sovereign had
never found someone so brave and steadfast in

197
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:19.119
defending his own opinions. Intrigued began
to question him. The age and the

198
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:25.440
fact that the young man had a
twin brother planted suspicion in the soul of

199
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:30.240
Amulius. Maybe he was talking to
the nephew grandson who years before had had

200
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:37.680
killed moved by mistrust resolved to reach
Remo. The news of his prison ran

201
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:44.720
quickly and reached Rome' s ears. He was Faust now. Whoever had

202
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:52.000
to explain that thought and questioned the
pastor. He had no choice but to

203
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:57.640
tell him the truth about his origin. Disturbed by rumble hatred, it quickly

204
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:03.519
gathers some brave warrior veres and with
them it heads to the Royal Palace.

205
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:10.480
It is time to unmask the impostor
and restore the crown to its rightful owner.

206
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.359
And finally in the bases of Rome
will be Remo' s blood.

207
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:22.079
Violent men ran the Royal Palace,
are willing to fight and are skilled in

208
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.079
the art of combat. They don' t waver at the high doors.

209
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.960
They' re all packed together and
thrown to the ground. The guards are

210
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:36.319
batting in retreat. The warriors walk
through the palace garden stepping on the plants

211
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:41.680
and crushing the flowers from the window. Amulius looks very frightened at everything that

212
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:48.799
is happening. Steps and screams are
getting closer to the royal chamber. The

213
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.759
voice. The rumble is distinguished between
the screams as if he were the very

214
00:21:53.839 --> 00:22:00.039
Rugir of Mars his divine father,
Amulio trembles unable to take a step.

215
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:04.599
Romulus is already in front of him
sword in hand. Enemies are measured from

216
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:08.920
top to bottom. The young man' s gaze does not deny the decision

217
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:12.839
to kill to do justice. The
tyrant has only a few moments of life,

218
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:18.759
the time to ask forgiveness from the
gods and fall wrapped in rowing blood.

219
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:23.519
Leave the palace dungeons. The old
Nunitor taking power for so many years.

220
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:30.160
Return to the Bull to reward the
brave grandchildren. It gives them territory

221
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.200
on the banks of the Tiber River
and authorizes them to build a city on

222
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.640
the spot. Romulo and Remo leave
in a hurry in search of their limits.

223
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:44.599
They can' t identify them,
they can' t find the exact

224
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:48.039
place to found their domain. Only
the gods can orient us. Romulus is

225
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:55.039
heading for Mount Palatino. Remo climbs
the Aventino, where the omens were more

226
00:22:55.079 --> 00:23:00.079
favorable. There they would build their
kingdom. On the Tino. Twelve vultures

227
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:07.519
fly over the Aventine. Only two
gods indicate the direction of the place where

228
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:14.240
Rome is, the young man immediately
joins a wing, a bull and a

229
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:18.880
heifer and traces a furrow around the
mountains, forming a picture where the walls

230
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.799
are raised. Remo, seeing the
brother take these measures, only consumes envy

231
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:30.319
and mocks at tumult telling him that
that wall will be easily transposed by any

232
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:36.759
bandit who tries to do so.
The other one silently endures the attacks.

233
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:42.119
But when Remo jumps through, the
sacred rudder does not contain its fury.

234
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:49.920
Face the brother sword in hand until
he is retreating and of mercy. Romulus,

235
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:55.680
you' ve decidedly embossed him and
mortally injure him. By the furrow,

236
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.720
the blood runs, marking with tragedy. The or s the neo beginning

237
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:06.759
of the great city. Dead Remo
is left with remorse, a terrible remorse

238
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:14.920
and a deep hopelessness. Finally,
this impatient act full of sorrow falls on

239
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.319
his brother' s body and kisses
his icy face in tears, implores the

240
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:30.359
impossible forgiveness and thinks of suicide.
Finally he rises, transports the lifeless body

241
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.519
to Mount Aventino and burys it there
as if burying a part in itself.

242
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:41.119
Then he resumes his hard work.
Every stone on the big wall hurts in

243
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:47.039
his chest as an indelible memory,
but soon the idea of death disappears and

244
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:51.960
he thinks of only one thing.
There is a work to conclude, and

245
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:59.680
he will then conclude it deeply linked
to the origins of Rome. The figure

246
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.599
of my wolf, which miraculously fed
rhombus and rowing, became with the walking

247
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.960
of time the symbol of the city
itself that came to dominate the world.

248
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:17.680
The people of Romulus take away the
Sabinas. Romulo' s work is almost

249
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:22.319
ready, but it is not yet
a city. People are missing to fill

250
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:27.799
the large empty spaces, flocks are
missing, planting is missing. Trying to

251
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:33.880
find a solution to the Romulus problem, he goes to the temple he has

252
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.519
built on Mount Capitoline. For long
hours, consult the gods and meditate at

253
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:42.880
last makes a decision. It will
transform your city into a great asylum,

254
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:48.599
a shelter for all the marginalized in
the surrounding area. The idea is disseminated

255
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:55.279
and the peaceful invasion begins. The
uprooted first inhabitants of Rome are coming from

256
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:59.400
everywhere, each one has to tell
the saddest adventure, the most hideous crime

257
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:06.759
or simply the pain of slavery.
In the great asylum they gather happy to

258
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:11.640
finally have a roof of their own
over their heads. Rome now has the

259
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:17.960
fever of life in its arteries,
but there is a lack of fertile women

260
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.519
to increase the population. Romulus begins
to think again where, where to get

261
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:27.319
women for those bandits who serve him
as a people, No father, no

262
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:33.680
brother would willingly give her up,
knowing what kind of men are the chosen,

263
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:38.960
trying them seems the latest alternative.
The lonely king then imagines a ploy

264
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:44.720
that would make him obnoxious to his
neighbors. He decides to kidnap the women

265
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.839
of the orderly and peaceful Sabinian people
who lived in the vicinity of Rome.

266
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:56.119
The grand plan will come into effect
during a horse race to be held on

267
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.000
the occasion of the celebration of the
feast of Consus. The buried grain god

268
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:07.240
Romulus invites the neighbors for great solemnity
and arrives to offer them their horses so

269
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:14.279
that they can also participate in the
competition. Without suspecting anything. The Sabins

270
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:19.359
accept the invitation and take their wives, daughters and sisters in the middle of

271
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:25.599
the party to an agreed sign.
The Romans take over the daughters and sisters

272
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:30.880
of the Sabins. They scream and
kick, they fight, but it'

273
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.480
s in vain. The kidnappers are
stronger and the Sabins, immobilized by surprise,

274
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.960
cannot defend themselves against the people of
Romulus, who flee with their precious

275
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:45.200
human booty day and night hundreds of
groaning creatures and ask for help, but

276
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:51.000
their distressing calls find no answer in
the entire extent of Roman territory. The

277
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:56.079
Sabino people have no strength to free
their women and the hard heart of the

278
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:03.480
inhabitants of Rome is closed to crying
and the then to populate the city founded

279
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:10.480
by the rumble, organized a horse
race during the feast of consus and invited

280
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:17.200
the Sabino inhabitants of the neighboring lands
to a given sign. The Romans fell

281
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:26.000
upon the visitors and robbed their women. This triggered the long war between Romans

282
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.960
and Sabins. Overwhelmed by the violence
of their wives and moved by the weight

283
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.960
of their affection, the Sabins decide
to organize themselves to invade Rome. Gather

284
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:41.160
the weapons and call them to the
Assembly to draw up the plan of military

285
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.799
aggression, the only way to recover
the daughters and their sisters. The first

286
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:51.480
army departs to conroll to death.
They are young warriors from the region of

287
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:56.079
Signa and do not believe the possibility
of being broken, but this one soon

288
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.400
arrives. It crushes them kills their
king Acron and consecrates jupiter their weapons.

289
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:08.920
The inhabitants of Crustumerium united to the
soldiers of antemnae form the second attack group.

290
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.839
Romulus conquers all and snatches them all
away. The defeated territories weak as

291
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:22.000
wounded birds, the Sabins are abandoned
to despair. Men fallen on the bloody

292
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:27.279
grass, lament their dead and do
not trust the living. Their kings lost

293
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:32.319
their lands, their wives lost the
war, and they no longer have hope.

294
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.519
In that moment of mourning and discouragement
appears the bold Tito Tacio, warrior

295
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:42.759
by nature, fomenting hatred of the
Romans, again raising the spirits of his

296
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:48.599
people and rearranging them for attack.
Leading a small number of survivors. It

297
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:56.160
is set in motion towards Rome.
The initial goal is the most important to

298
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.400
penetrate the Capitol citadel. To achieve
this, all means are fair. No

299
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:06.960
act shall be unworthy at the gates
of the Capitol. Tito Tacio finds the

300
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:14.160
beautiful daughter of Sempronio a trapeze.
I trap the guardian of the sacred place

301
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:18.960
and awaken in the young woman a
sudden love. Taking advantage of that feeling,

302
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:26.799
Trama a ruse asks tarpeya to help
him penetrate the Capitol. In exchange

303
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:32.720
for that betrayal, she promises to
marry her immediately. After winning victory,

304
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:37.119
passion devours the virgin soul as the
flames of death, making it impossible to

305
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:45.240
resist the mysterious fascination of that man
any longer. Tarpeya accepts the humiliating pact

306
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:56.960
and helps the invaders. We have
seen in several stories as Ariadna menea Tarpeya

307
00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:07.640
succumb to the fascination aroused by men
of heroic character. But once the first

308
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:12.720
great obstacle, Tito Tacio, has
been overcome, he turns his back on

309
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.400
the young woman in love and fails
to fulfill what he had promised her.

310
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.240
She' s not marrying her.
Once again, the young woman implores the

311
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:29.240
warrior' s love and he,
ruthless, crushes her with his shield.

312
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:34.079
When the old seed saw his daughter
dead among the enemy weapons. You can

313
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:41.680
' t believe she betrayed him.
Then he understands and as a father,

314
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:48.039
he manages to forgive. Driven by
the young exile, the samurai women resolved

315
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.200
to put an end to the long
war that decimated their people and that of

316
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:59.400
the Romans. They stood bravely between
the fighters, pleading with their parents,

317
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:05.279
the r nerns and husbands to abandon
their arms and join in a work of

318
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:13.039
peace and prosperity. It was the
persuasion of the woman, the feminine persuasion,

319
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:19.480
that conquered the peace taken in the
citadel. The part of the Sabino

320
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.519
army, which did not penetrate the
Capitol, attacked the Romans by the rear

321
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:28.559
at that time Janus God of the
beginning and the end of all things.

322
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:32.720
It brought forth from the ground a
source of boiling water that unlocked the passage

323
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:39.039
of the invaders. Stimulated by the
sudden divine apogee, Romulus strongly asked Jupiter

324
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:45.400
to help him overcome In that war. A mysterious force moved the Roman soldiers

325
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:52.319
and they advanced to their enemies,
as if thousands of invisible swords fought beside

326
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:58.559
them. Noting the strange energy that
took hold of their adversaries, the Sabins

327
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:05.119
retreated to again full of fear.
On the western tip of the Romulus forum

328
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.839
he ordered Jupiter to build a temple
in gratitude for having listened to its prey.

329
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:14.839
The Sabinos are preparing another attack.
Meanwhile, his daughters and sisters locked

330
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:19.759
inside the walls of Rome, are
tired of war under Hercilia' s leadership,

331
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:25.359
resolved to put an end to the
long series of struggles. Hercilian was

332
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:32.240
the only young married victim of the
Roman rapture. Her husband Hostilio had died

333
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:38.880
in combat. Now she makes her
nostalgia a flag of peace at the head

334
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:43.960
of six hundred Sabinas. The brave
Tersilia marched to the battlefield and, in

335
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:49.279
the name of the dead, implored
the fighters to lay down their arms with

336
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:53.400
motion. The adversaries abandoned the struggle
and united in a common city under the

337
00:33:53.440 --> 00:34:00.559
command of Tito Tacio and Romulus,
surrendering together over the new Community. They

338
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:05.880
must promote peace by forgetting the old
hatreds. But Tito Tacio does not resist

339
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:10.480
the desire for violence that burns his
veins. After the first years of truce,

340
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:16.639
it conflicts with another people, the
Laurentians, and dies in combat without

341
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:23.000
glory. Romulus buried him with all
the funeral honors due to a king,

342
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:30.039
but took no action to punish those
who killed him. The wounded ground no

343
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:37.079
longer endures battles. Rome needs peace
to follow its path of civilization and intelligence,

344
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:43.880
courage and greatness, just as Ecilia
Viuda, married to Romulus and honored

345
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:51.960
by the Romans as a deity ora
Kirini and other women wanted. Among the

346
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:59.519
first Roman heroes are the figures of
three brave young men known as the Horatios.

347
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:06.760
In mourning over the Curiazi representatives of
the Albanian warriors, they led to

348
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:15.079
an end to a long conflict between
Rome and Alba and finally, in the

349
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:19.719
midst of a mysterious storm the first
king of Rome disappeared. The land is

350
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:24.039
fertile and men are strong. They
work tirelessly to erase the city. The

351
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:30.000
hard memories of war full of faith
try to forget the difficult days, the

352
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:34.960
cruelty of fighting, the painful mourning. Meanwhile, the memory of the dead

353
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:39.119
continues to torture every home and every
camp with a slow and daily anguish.

354
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:45.079
At the feasts of Rome there is
no laughter on the sumptuous throne. Romulus

355
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:49.559
thinks of the murdered brother. It
would be easier to reign if I had

356
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:52.800
him by his side and I could
even give him the crown if he died

357
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:58.280
before him. The problem of succession
torments him in his absence. There will

358
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:02.719
be no one to rule the Roman
people. The eyes of the lonely sovereign

359
00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:07.880
travel through the outline of the city. In tears they lie on the sacred

360
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:12.840
tree, symbol of the power of
Rome. It had primarily been a dart

361
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:15.440
that he himself threw from the top
of the hill. With the force of

362
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:20.800
impulse, art was buried in such
a way that it could never be ripped

363
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:25.679
off. He ended up taking root
and transforming himself into the plant monument of

364
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:31.440
his people. Thirty years relive a
single image in a single memory. Thirty

365
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:37.360
years of struggle and reign, the
village populated on top of the Palatine became

366
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:43.480
a true city. The former bandits
took place in a courageous people, but

367
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:51.159
respectful of divine precepts and human laws. There is progress and justice among the

368
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:53.920
subjects of the rhombus and for all
the benefits they receive from it. Citizens

369
00:36:54.000 --> 00:37:00.960
call it affectionately. The father of
the fatherland. They owe the first political

370
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:07.039
institutions, the Senate, the Council, the curias for their tribe the first

371
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:13.440
legion of three zero men gathered in
the great defence army of Rome. Memories

372
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:17.880
are gradually undone in the rhombus mind. A soldier comes to call him to

373
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:24.199
review the troops gathered in the field
of Mars. Suddenly, the warriors are

374
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:30.320
plunged into deep darkness. The sun
hides behind heavy clouds and a mysterious storm

375
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:37.679
breaks out over Rome. Panic occurs
in the fields and in the streets.

376
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:43.719
The huts are undone to the columns
of some rich temples yield and under the

377
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:47.960
strong pressure of the uncontrollable waters,
when the storm ends. The whole town

378
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.599
is looking for a rumble, but
no one can find it anywhere. There

379
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:57.599
are vestiges of his passing, as
if he had been only a benefactor ghost

380
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:00.440
in the memory of his people.
His name closes to the leaves of history,

381
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:09.599
and there he remains forever for fearing
that the descendants of Nunetus would one

382
00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:15.239
day claim the pollen power usurped from
Mulia, locked up Rea Silvia, the

383
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:22.800
only living descendant of the king dethroned
in the college of the Bestials of the

384
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:29.119
goddess best known as Stia by the
Greeks, thus consecrating her to chastity,

385
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:34.000
but the god marte fell in love
with the young woman and joined her.

386
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:40.400
From that love were born two Romulus
isrem twins who later justified Amulus' fears,

387
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:51.880
snatching away the throne he had stolen
and then rhomulus after killing his brother

388
00:38:51.880 --> 00:39:09.039
Remo would found the majestic city of
Rome. N n n n
