In 753 BC the city of Rome was founded by Romulus, son of Mars. According to legend this legendary founder was the twin brother of Remus and the grandson of Numitor, king of Alba Longa. Legend has it that he is descended from Aeneas, Trojan hero, and even the gods themselves. In the 700's BC the king of Alba Longa, Numitor, was deposed by his brother, Amulius. The new king had all of Numitor's male heirs executed, and forced his daughter Rhea Silvia into the Vestal Virgins, where she was sworn to celibracy. Despite this, Rhea Silvia gave birth to two twins; Romulus and Remus. Upon hearing this Amulius asked one of his servents to kill the two children, but the servent felt mercy for the two, leaving them in the Tiber River instead.

abstract	In 753 BC the city of Rome was founded by Romulus, son of Mars. According to legend this legendary founder was the twin brother of Remus and the grandson of Numitor, king of Alba Longa. Legend has it that he is descended from Aeneas, Trojan hero, and even the gods themselves. In the 700's BC the king of Alba Longa, Numitor, was deposed by his brother, Amulius. The new king had all of Numitor's male heirs executed, and forced his daughter Rhea Silvia into the Vestal Virgins, where she was sworn to celibracy. Despite this, Rhea Silvia gave birth to two twins; Romulus and Remus. Upon hearing this Amulius asked one of his servents to kill the two children, but the servent felt mercy for the two, leaving them in the Tiber River instead. The pair drifted in the Tiber, falling into a puddle downstream where a she-wolf came upon them. The she-wolf nurtured the pair until Faustulus, a shepherd, found them. Faustulus and his wife, Acca Larentia would raise the two as their own, into adulthood. As adults Romulus and Remus killed Amulius, restoring Numitor to power, in fulfillment of the prophecy. The two twins wished to build a new city, on the banks of Tiber River, but after quarreling about the site of the city, the two grew farther apart. Romulus would kill his brother, Remus, calling his new city after himself; Roma. Romulus would found the city that would shape the globe, giving birth to an immense empire, reaching across Europe and much of the known world. This timeline explores what would have happened if Romulus never survived to adulthood. What if Amulius, who had deposed Romulus’ grandfather, had been successful in purging Numitor’s heirs? The outcome would lead to a new world, where Rome never existed.
