Detailed explanation-1: -According to tradition, Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC. They were twin brothers, sons of a human mother and the god of war, Mars. After their birth, the king ordered them killed. They were placed in a basket and put into the Tiber River-left to die from exposure in the outdoors.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Roman mythology, Romulus and Remus (Latin: [ˈroːmʊlʊs], [ˈrɛmʊs]) are twin brothers whose story tells of the events that led to the founding of the city of Rome and the Roman Kingdom by Romulus, following his fratricide of Remus.
Detailed explanation-3: -The legend of Romulus and Remus gave Romans a divine ancestry since the twins were said to be the offspring of the god Mars and the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia. The story also presented a lesson in overcoming adversity. The twins were left in the Tiber River to drown, but they miraculously survived.
