- The beginning of the city that forged the western world.
Here we have the story of Romulus and Remus, brought to us by Titus Livius, and the fable Romans passed down from generation to generation of the ancient origins of their empire - a tale of compassion, rebellion and fratricide.
How do we actually know about history? Voices of the Past is a channel dedicated to recreating the original accounts from the people who lived through events, or who lived far closer to them than we do today. We do this word for word, with an accompanying soundtrack of rousing music and images.

Romulus: What should we name this city?
It's a credit to Livy's scholarship that he documents where so many important words and ideas come from. Particularly so, being willing to take on the issue of whether "Lupa' means "she-wolf" or "harlot," and thus, to entertain alternate readings of the scared story.
Great choice!
I HAVE HEARD THIS STORY MANY TIMES BUT ALWAYS ENJOY HEARING IT AGAIN.
Absolutely wonderful channels. Simply unparallelled quality, and I say this with a great deal of familiarity with lectures, documentaries and audiobooks.
When Livy mentions the adoptive mother of Romulus and Remus was reportedly called "Lupa" (Latin for she-wolf), he is expressing doubt in the foundation myth. Nice that even the ancient writers were capable of historical criticism.
I'm watching this now as I look at the Palatine Hill. Truly amazing. Thank you
Things happened, Remus died, I got a city.
Very impressive narration! Thank you!
I am Romulus
you bring forth the most interesting of topics here.. I am glad that I have subscribed thank you for your hard work... carry on!
I am so glad the algorithm sent me here! Your choices are fascinating and so well told. Thanks very much for another great story
I recommend the movie, Romulus & Remus: The First King (2019)
I would like to see more sources from the times of roman decline, something from the perspective of the german barbarian tribes who were taking roman land. Like, I dont know, Vandals or goths.
An obvious theme regarding the futility of divination in the founding myth of an empire obsessed with divination.
The 12 vultures were prophetic. From 753 BC to 476 AD. One vulture for each century.
Superb narration as ever-when this guy's talking you can see it all in your head as if you were there.
This was a really good one for me. Iv always liked the story of Romulus and Remus but I never heard it like this. Thank you voices of the past! That was awesome. 👍
