Romulus and Remus, legend of the Rome is still alive by Ludmila Martinicka

All the roads, leads to Rome. Thanks to the twins, Romulus and Remus, sons of the god Mars. Romulus founded the city in 753 BC after killing his brother in the fight. He became a first king and a wolf mother a symbol of the city. The legend survived and it seems that archaeologists explored the temple of this strange family under the palace of Augustus, the first roman emperor. Italian archaeologists strongly believe they found a place where a she-wolf grew up the twins after she found them on the river, as the legend says. The cave was found during restoration works on the palace of Augustus. Archaeologists predict, that Augustus built his palace on this place intentionally, considering himself to be the new Romulus. Before Augustus built the palace above the cave, there use to be a temple, where people, which believed in a legend use to come and pray to gods. He used the legend to strengthen his power and submission of the villeinage. The place of the cave is 16 meters underground. According to the research and exploration by laser scan and other high tech technologies experts found out the dimensions of the cave. It is about 8 meters high and about 7 meters wide in diameter. This historical treasure could be 2000 years old or even more, so the explorers must be really patient and careful. A conference of archaeologists was held to decide, how to reach and explore the cave. New digs and further exploration is expected to find an original enter to the cave and another part of the human history.
