Rachel S. RobertsGUEST
Like, you know, you just get these lightning bolts go through you and she kind of came forward, you know, she's known as the mother of destiny.
Rachel S. RobertsGUEST
She supported Romulus and Remus and through her, I was able to find out why am I here? Like truly, like what has all of this meant in all these experiences? And so I wrote my first book about, about her, you know, retelling her story from her perspective and that was really important to me was retelling the stories from the perspective of the feminine so that that first one is a foundational story of Romulus and Remus and it's always about Romulus and Remus and this uncle killing this guy and this guy doing this and then there's this mighty she-wolf in that and I was really intrigued by her So I ended up writing about her.
Rachel S. RobertsGUEST

The Cajun KnightHOST
They didn't know what it was, but then these two dudes, Romulus and Remus, founded what we would call the Roman Empire, and it's like, I'm sorry, their backstory is a legend off of a legend.
The Cajun KnightHOST

complete with attacks by harpies, a tragic romance with Queen Dido of Carthage, a journey to the underworld, and a brutal war in Latium.

Anthony CapozzoliHOST
Centuries later, their direct descendant, Rhea Silvia, gives birth to Romulus and Remus.
Anthony CapozzoliHOST
This bridged a massive 400-year chronological gap between the fall of Troy and the founding of Rome.
Anthony CapozzoliHOST
giving Rome a dual divine heritage, the peaceful love of Venus through Aeneas and the war spirit of Mars through Romulus and Remus.
Miguel ConnerHOST
To the Gnostics, it exposes the blind militias and ignorant archons or rulers.
Miguel ConnerHOST
Now, I'm sure some of you know these myths because Remus and Romulus were given birth when Mars raped the Vestal Virgin, Rhea Silvia.
Miguel ConnerHOST
And that's how we get the first two Romans.
Miguel ConnerHOST
And as far as, we'll get into the other one soon, the fate of the victim.
Jonas KilkerHOST
You know, just kind of the iconography, what the country was modeled after by the founding fathers wanting to turn it into another Roman Republic, essentially.
Jonas KilkerHOST
And if you think about it, a lot of what the United States did, I guess it's not necessarily unique to Rome and the U.S., but just the way that it was built out of a... very primitive sort of civilization where a group of people, whether you take the mythical account of Romulus and Remus or like Virgil's the Aeneid, where you have the Trojans come in and sort of just like kick the native Latins out.
Jonas KilkerHOST
Or if you take the historical migration stories and you have like the Italo-Celts, which were like an off branch of Southern Celtic peoples from Central Europe who migrate down into the Italian peninsula And then also kick the Latins sort of out or just like conquer them and then establish like a smaller sort of colonial settlement and then expand that into a state and a republic, which ultimately evolved into an empire.
Jonas KilkerHOST
The difference is in America, we began as a republic and then we evolved not into an empire outwardly, but just like a democratic republic that just sort of has like global like control over like the cultural zeitgeist and all these things.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
She was made powerful and predominant by the almost unheeded labor of a vast number of citizens of average ability, not by men whose names have the ring of Solon, Pericles, and Epaminondas, or Alexander, or if we compare modern times, of Charlemagne, Peter the Great, Frederick, or Washington.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
The kings and statesmen to whom the establishment of the state and the laws is ascribed, such as Romulus, Numa, Servius, and Brutus, belong not to authentic history, but to prehistoric fable.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
And when politicians arose who exerted an influence beyond that of private citizens in the service of the state, men like Sulla and Caesar wielded in their hands the power of the whole community, the greatness of republican Rome had passed away.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
If then the first cause of Roman greatness, the first impulse given to national development, is to be found neither in the advantages of soil and situation, nor in the superiority of race, nor in the genius of great men, shall we be driven to say that it was mere chance, or in more reverent language, divine providence, which selected Rome as the seat of empire over Italy and the world? Such a conclusion would not be a solution of the problem, but an evasion of the difficulty and a confession of weakness unworthy of the spirit of historical inquiry.

Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
