I fucking love ancient rome. anyone else?

i don't have a beard

i find it really weird that despite the importance of the capitoline wolf and the image of Romulus and Remus feeding off her, wolves didn't have a huge cultural meaning to Romans.

They didn't have beards tho

Um, haven't you read the Aeneid?

Hadrian did, so did a lot of Emperors after him.

So Romulus and Remus were real people who were descended from Aeneas, the son of Aphrodite. Mystery solved.

I'm glad that's settled.

Hey OP, maybe go into detail why you love ancient Rome. This is why we have a million threads that get low replies.

God ancient Rome is such a clusterfuck, we'll never know who really founded it or why, was it a settlement of outcast convicts? An actual colony from Masseila? Syracuse? Asia Minor? Greek influenced or actually greek origin?

Shits fucked bruh, we'll never really know

Any solid sources on why Rome fell? I mean studies? Edward Gibbon is basically all I got...

Lupa also means prostitute.

do not bully the wolf

>we'll never know who really founded it or why, was it a settlement of outcast convicts? An actual colony from Masseila? Syracuse? Asia Minor? Greek influenced or actually greek origin?

you know they could have just been Italic? people had been living there before other civilizations started moving in.

I'm sure they were just locals. Though they were influenced by Greeks and Etruscans.

They c claimed they were trojans. While i don't believe that the Romans probably were from asia minor originally

The legend is that the Trojans came from Italy, and Aeneas took them back.

May his bones be crushed.

Samnites are superior

Advance apologies if I come off as ignorant, but ever since I saw Fellini Satyricon I've been fascinated with Rome. I'd even settle for being alive in Nero's time as depicted in the film so I could be a eunuch that gets fucked in the boypucci all day long
