The legend of Romulus and Remus Gabe Romans their identity of courage and violence to defeat their enemy

Answer 1

With the legend of Remus and Romulus Romans developed their nationalist identity. In the legend the twin boys were tossed into the Tiber river, this order was made by the brother of their grandfather--who had taken over the throne. Later, they were found by a wolf who nourished them to health. Eventually, the twins and the wolf are discovered by a shepherd and his wife, who adopt them. Remus and Romulus end up discovering their royal heritage, and help their grandfather reclaim the throne. However, when Romulus and Remus go to find their own lands to govern, conflict rises between the two brothers. Romulus names his city Roma, and jealous Remus tries to prove how easily it would be to attack Roma. In the end Romulus kills his brother. The legend suggest to the Roman people that Rome is the most important thing in their lives, and must be protect no matter what. Nothing including family will ever be as important as Rome is to the Roman people. As a result the Romans did become a courageous military force, along with the first democracy of the world.
