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.
