BR09: THE STORY OF ROME

     I will introduce this book. This book has six chapters; The myth of Rome, The real Rome, Battling for Rome, Life in Rome, Rome's emperors and Decline and fall.

The city if Rome, in Italy, is over two thousand rears old, and its begging is cloacked in mystery. According to myth, it all started with twin brothers-Romulus and Remus. The twins were royal babies. Their mother was a glamorous princess and their father was Mars, the god of war. They should have inherited a kingdom from their garndfather, King Numitor, and lived happily ever after. But King Numitor's brother, Amulius, had banished hm and stolen the crown. And Amulius didn't want any rivals... "I've got to get rid of them!" "Take those brats to the River Tiber and drown them," he ordered a slave. But the slave took pity on them and sent them floating gently down the river in a basket. After a while, the basket washed ashore. A wolf heard the boys crying and went to look. Perhaps she thought they were cubs, because she fed and cared for them as if they were her own babies. Soon after this, a shepherd named Faustulus spotted the boys. Faustulus and his wife longed for children. "I'll rescue them, and we can bring them up as our own sons," he decided. "I thought we could call them Romulus and Remus." Romulu and Remus grew up big, strong - and always ready for a fight. They became shepherds like Faustulus, spending each day in the hills. One day, Remus got int a brawl with some rival shepherds, who dragged him before a local judge. "Who's this?" the judge asked."Where's he from?" Sulkily,Remus explain how he and his twin had been found as babies. To his astonishedment, the judge hugged him. [270]
