"Historic Tales: The Romance of Reality. Vol. 11 (of 15), Roman" by Charles Morris is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume is dedicated to tales from early Roman history, weaving together the legends and myths surrounding the founding of Rome, its legendary figures, and significant events. The collection presents foundational stories such as those of Romulus and Remus, the Sabine Virgins, and the moral dilemmas faced by
historical figures, aiming to give readers a fascinating glimpse into Rome's formative tales and cultural ethos. At the start of this volume, the narrative introduces how Rome was founded, recounting the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus, the twin sons of the god Mars and a vestal virgin, Silvia. After surviving various trials, including abandonment and symbolic nurturing by a she-wolf, the brothers grow up to reclaim their rightful heritage. As they decide the location of their new city, a dispute arises, leading to a tragic turn of events that culminates in the death of Remus at the hands of Romulus. This foundational myth sets the stage for the exploration of themes such as ambition, loyalty, and the complex interplay between brotherhood and rivalry, establishing a rich context for the series of stories that follow in Roman history.
