Latin for the New Millenium: Romulus and Remus

Apologia

(AKA why in the world I’ve done this)

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a dire proclivity for all things ancient world. As such, I have taken it on myself to make my Latin textbook as fascinating, as dramatic, and as raw as possible, both for myself and others. The textbook(s) I am using come from the series “Latin for the New Millenium”. I am beginning with Chapter 1, which tells a very, very abbreviated version of the life of Romulus and Remus, twin forefathers of Rome.

Here, I will post my version of the story. By my version, I mean that I have ripped off the textbook’s version of the story verbatim, only adding my own visual flair to the piece.

I basically made the story into a picture book for ease of reading. My mind takes in vocabulary and tales better through the visuals and text combined.

Blame film and media.

The Story of Romulus and Remus

*“And so, Rhea Silvia has two sons: Romulus and Remus*.”

*” Amulius locks up Rhea Silvia with chains.”*

*“Amulius puts Romulus and Remus into the water.”*

*“The she-wolf takes good care of Romulus and Remus and loves them.”*

*“Later, Romulus and Remus build Rome.”*

I hope you all have benefited from the story in its format. May your study into Latin be blessed and filled with wonder!
