Couldn't get enough of Roman history after last episode? Then welcome back!
In the last episode we've started our journey on the Roman cobblestones.
We've discovered a link between the mighty Troy and the new power in Latium, and we've seen how even blood ties can be broken, when there's the chance of becoming a ruler.
In this episode we're following Romulus, watching him as he navigates the complexities of a new city. We'll see how bold, and maybe slightly illegal, thinking will gain him followers and settlers, and how he transformed his little mud village into a powerhouse.
If you're intrigued, then hop on! Let's go meet Romulus, the First King of Rome.

We're finally here!
This episode marks the beginning of a deep-dive into Roman history!
We start, like all good stories, at the very beginning where we'll meet the heroes and heroines who were said to have founded one of the biggest empires in history.
Of course, we'll meet the twins, Romulus and Remus, and their furry babysitter, the lupa; but we'll also see how, at the beginning of the Empire, a new story started to circulate, in an effort to nobilitate Augustus' pedigree as he prepared himself to become the first Emperor of Rome.
If you can't get the Roman Empire out of your heard, then you're in the right place!
Let's go together! As they say; all roads lead to Rome.

Love him or hate him, Romulus started Rome on a path to greatness, but he was only the first one.
Six other kings followed him, giving Rome its costumes, culture, laws, and religious ceremonies.
The Seven Kings of Rome were much beloved by the Romans, each with their own quirky character. Did they exist? Does it matter?
If you want to get a possible answer to these questions, jump aboard as we go meet: Numa, Tullus, Ancus, Tarquinius, Servius, and Tarquinius!
