What existed in Rome before Rome? Most of you know the legendary origins—the twins, the she-wolf, the Palatine Hill—but where did Romulus and Remus come from? Who were Aeneas, Evander, Carmenta?
And what of the seven kings?
This tour offers a gentle exploration of the city’s origins, where myth and history intertwine, sometimes confirming and sometimes contradicting one another. The ancient harbor, the bustling market, and the archaic sanctuaries set the stage for encounters with the early inhabitants who left their mark on the land that would become the Eternal City. Here, the destinies of local shepherds and foreign heroes converge, giving rise to the future capital of the world.
