Sarcophagus dedicated to Romulus discovered in Roman forum

This stone coffin is believed to have once housed the remains of Romulus, the founder of Rome.






Quote from the article:

"In Roman mythology, Romulus and brother Remus were left to die as babies in a basket on the River Tiber.

They survived and were taken in by a she-wolf, who nursed them back to health.

Of course, the story is legend, and it's not clear whether Romulus or Remus ever existed."



D'OH !!  








Thanks for posting, it's an interesting story.......just a bit confusing though, that on one hand they consider Romulus to be the "founder" of Rome, yet on the other hand, they're not even sure he ever existed.....
