Romulus is said to have attacked Fidenae, and to have taken the city ; and likewise to have carried on a successful war against the powerful city of Veii, which purchased a truce of a hundred years, on a surrender of a third of its territory. But the forgers of this tale forgot that Romulus is nowhere repre­sented in the ancient legend as a tyrant, but as a mild and merciful monarch, whose rule became still more gentle after the death of Tatius, whom it branded as a tyrant. www.ancientlibrary.com /smith-bio/2993.html   (1162 words)

romulus augustus He is frequently known by a diminutive nickname "Romulus Augustulus." The Latin termination -ulus diminishes the scale of any noun; hence, "Augustulus" would mean "the Little Augustus." However, his name was Romulus Augustus. Romulus founded a monastery that lasted for hundreds of years, but he does not appear to have lived to see the restoration of Roman authority in Italy in 536. Romulus Augustus is the main character of Friedrich Dürrenmatt's play Romulus der Große (translated to english as "Romulus"), which revolves around the last days of Romulus' emperorship. www.fact-library.com /romulus_augustus.html   (297 words)

Ethics of Roman Expansion to 133 BC by Sanderson Beck Romulus had greatly increased the army and territory of Rome, but Numa was said to have brought peace throughout his reign based on law and religion. Valerius, because of his family's history of supporting the people and his promise to continue to do so, was able to raise a force to aid the Tusculans in taking back the capitol; Herdonius was killed, but so was Valerius. Tribune Lucius Valerius argued that women benefited Rome in the past and should not have to suffer this war-time measure in peace-time, believing women's finery should be controlled by husbands and fathers, not by the law; greater power requires greater moderation. www.san.beck.org /EC24-RomanExpansion.html   (15529 words)

John Adams: Defence of the Constitutions: Vol. I, Letter XXXVI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) In the seventh section of his second book of the Roman Antiquities, he says of Romulus, that he was extremely capable of instituting the most perfect form of government. Romulus divided all the people into three parts, and appointed a person of the first rank to be the chief of each of them. This whole history, from Romulus to Tarquin, is one continued struggle of the noble families for the first place; and another unanswerable proof of the necessity of having three orders, and each order independent, in order to form an effectual equilibrium. www.constitution.org /jadams/ja1_36.htm   (1556 words)

Cathy and Gary - Home   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) It is important to note that Dionysius views disruptions in marriage as arising primarily from the side of women, particularly in their propensity to act “immodestly.” Romulus’ wisdom is highlighted in the fact that he was able to provide in a social structure a reward for women’s modest behavior that surpassed their bent toward immodesty. For Romulus permitted them to punish both these acts with death, as being the gravest offences women could be guilty of, since he looked upon adultery as the source of reckless folly, and drunkenness as the source of adultery[7]. It is, however, worth noting that he [Dionysius] picks out the indissolubility of Roman marriage as a praiseworthy characteristic and that he agrees with the philosophers and Cicero in idealizing community of property and the consequent absorption of the wife into her new family. aoal.org /cg/Classics/RomanDivorce.htm   (3482 words)

[No title] Quintus and Valerius were particularly favored names among the Romans, and men of those names and others like them were routinely selected to take the lead in sacrifices or in new undertakings, because of the fortunate nature of their nomenclature. The knowledge for which he was acclaimed must have been gained by reason of his familial history, and it is very possible that the punishment laid upon him, of which Pliny speaks, was suffered during the firewalk, by which his impiety was proven and the requisite retribution exacted. As it happens, the woodpecker filled a similar role for another Samnite tribe, the Piceni (from picus, woodpecker), and the woodpecker was said to be the sacred bird of Feronia, the female aspect of the deity at Soracte. lovestarz.com /roma.html   (5059 words)

Roman Architecture 2 - Crystalinks 292-5 ­ 309) was the son of the Western Roman Emporer Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius. After his death, his status was raised to Divus and the Temple of Divus Romulus was built in his honor.

The History of Xena, as Taken From the Xena Scrolls In the life of Romulus, Plutarch describes the kidnapping and rape of the Sabine women as "a design purely of forming alliance with their neighbors by the greatest and surest bonds" (Plutarch, 35). After reading the life of Romulus, the cup of militarism (near barbarism) was overflowing, as was the cup of public image, but religion was left wanting. Since Plutarch did not rewrite the story of Romulus to include a sense of respect for the Gods, it stands to reason that Plutarch did not believe that to be an important aspect of this life. www.cfxs.com /Plutarch.htm   (1513 words)

The Last Legion (movie) - Ancient Roman Empire Forums I didn't know this, but I just found out they finished making a movie called the Last Legion on Romulus Augustus during the Fall of the Empire, well pretty much about the fall of the Empire I think. I've read the book again and again, and i seriously enjoy the thought that Romulus Augustulus may have ended up of a brighter fate than at best lifelong exile and imprisonment or at worst, death.
