Romulus & Remus
History · Ancient Greece & Rome · conceptual
Know the Roman founding myth of Romulus and Remus — twin brothers abandoned as babies, raised by a she-wolf, who grew up to found the city of Rome — and understand that this is a legend the Romans told about how their city began
What mastery looks like
- Retell the story of Romulus and Remus being raised by a wolf
- Say that Romulus founded the city of Rome
- Explain that this is a legend — a story people told, not necessarily true
Check your understanding
If Romulus & Remus saw a statue of a wolf feeding two babies, could they tell you it's the story of Romulus and Remus and how the Romans believed their city began?
