The Roman Monarchy is pretty hazy compared to the Roman Republic and Empire. Thank you for shedding light on this.

[@thalmoragent9344]

True. It's funny too, cause the Empire would've been another Monarchy but, it never got off the ground due to how the succession was often jostled more often than not).

[@Calikid331]

@@thalmoragent9344 I read somewhere that they didn't have a succession system because that would just make it look like a monarchy. To the eyes of the Romans, the first 200 years of the empire were no different from the republic. It's just that now there's a guy (imperator) who leads the senate and the army, and he can do it for as long as he wants. It was only later that these imperators actually started making themselves seem like kings. Everyone already knew they held immense power so they just started showing it. They started getting more flashy, more authoritarian, and more of what we now think of as an emperor.

[@quintuscrinis]

​@Calikid331 the original Kings didn't have a regular inheritance pattern - although the Tarquins did have a family link (but were not linked to thebking between them). The remperors did try to hide their power, however the first 5 were all related to each other and claiming descent from Julius Caesar. This is also the family that Included Caligula and Nero!!

Just so you know “Lupa” literally means “she wolf” in Latin. So “lupa” is not the name of a wolf, it’s just a female wolf.

[@adidnac]

In Rome a she-wolf/lupa is also how they described prostitutes .. so romulus and remus were rescued by a hooker not an actual wolf

[@dorvrith]

@@adidnac nah, it was an actual wolf

[@2200Stinger]

Is it possible they derived the word for “she wolf” after the founding story was already legend?

[@daciaromana2396]

@@2200Stinger No. The reason is that, unlike English, Latin is a gender language, it has three genders to be exact (masculine, feminine and neuter). Nouns for animals have a masculine and feminine form just like in the Romance languages. Male wolf = lupus, female wolf= lupa. Meaning Old Latin was already like this before the story of the capitoline wolf. “Lupa capitolina” means literally “capitoline she-wolf” or “the capitoline she-wolf”. Notice how “capitolina” is also in the feminine form to agree with the “lupa”. The concept of gendered nouns can be hard to understand for people who aren’t familiar with gendered languages.

🇮🇹The oldest settlements of what would later become Rome date back to a very remote era, even to Neanderthal man. The oldest appears to be in the Valchetta area, with human remains from 65,000 years ago, another in via di Torre Spaccata from 60,000 years ago. We move on to the Iron Age with the arrival of the Latins of Indo-European lineage, therefore non-native, first a Latin-Faliscan group and then an Umbrian-Sabello group. Those same Latins who met Aeneas, according to tradition, when, fleeing from Troy, he landed in Lazio. Rome was formed with the fusion of many different people, because where different civilizations converge there is an exchange that amplifies knowledge. No civilization can boast a mass of people and races like Rome, a point of connection between West and East, also because it stretched out both on the river and the sea. In ancient times the land was covered with forests and dangerous for wild animals, navigation from coast to coast, or by river, was the least dangerous way to travel. The Falisci occupied the Tiber valley, between the Cimini and Sabatini mountains, while the Latins occupied Latium vetus, ancient Lazio, which went from the right bank of the Tiber to the Alban Hills, bordering the Etruscans north of the Tiber. The Volscians, and partly the Hernici, instead occupied the south of Lazio; the Aurunci, and a little of the Rutuli, the Lazio Campanian coast; the Sabines the Apennine area to the north, the Equi to the east. It is probable that those of the Hellespont in Asia Minor (now Turkey) contributed to the union of cultures, when around 1100 BC, Troy fell and the survivors took refuge in Lazio. Excavations at the Forum Boarium have discovered Greek ceramics from the 8th century BC which already demonstrate commercial relations with the Hellenic colonies at the time. The huts of the Palatine, of which there are numerous traces, had a shape between rectangular and elliptical, very similar to those of the hut urns of the same period, found in the archaic burial ground of the Forum, which were used to contain the ashes of the deceased and they imitated the house where he had lived. The large holes along the edge and in the center were used to house the roof support poles, while smaller holes on both sides of the doorway were to support a particular, light covering in front of the door itself. Next to the central hole the traces of the hearth were very clear. Their dating is from the 8th century BC, which fully corresponds to the date of the foundation of Rome; moreover, the remains of a palace have recently been found. The prehistoric tombs next to the foundations of the disappeared Arch of Augustus, in the Roman Forum, are also evidence of these settlements, a culture similar to the proto-Villanovan one, with vases without decorations, probably from the 1st millennium BC, in the Bronze Age. A necropolis necessarily derives from a village of permanent homes. The defense of Rome, until its construction in the 6th century. BC, of ​​the Servian walls, was based on the aggregation of Etruscans, Latins, Sabines who inhabited the hills around the Palatine, the central nucleus of the city, but each hill provided for its own military defense, entrusted more to men than to fortifications. However, the hills had bristling wooden palisades, ditches and embankments between Porta Collina and the Esquiline, for a length of about 7 km (60 stadia). It can be deduced that the predominant population were Latins, but that there were actually also the Trojans of legend, because Troy was not a legend, and in fact its survivors had to seek refuge on the shores of the Mediterranean, and where else if not in an already multi-ethnic territory for which not affected by xenophobia? The ancient Roman tribes were social groupings into which the Romans were divided on a noble basis (gens), which derived from kinship relationships between different familiae that constituted a gens, and from the relationship of the gens with the same territory, and which in the royal era they transformed into territorial subdivisions. According to tradition, they were established by Romulus and there were three: - the Ramnes (from Romulus of Latin origin), i.e. the native Roman families, led by the Latins and settled in the flat areas; - the Tities (or Titienses from Titus Tatius the Sabine king), i.e. the Sabine families who came following Titus Tatius; - the Luceres (from Lucumon or Lygmon of Etruscan origin), who according to Tito Livio were of uncertain origin; according to others they were the inhabitants of the wooded areas in the surroundings of Rome (from the Latin lucus, "forest"), mainly indigenous; but according to others, and this seems to be the most reliable version, they were of Etruscan origin led by a Lucumone ("king"), from whom they took their name (or from the king of Ardea, Lucero). The Romans were therefore born from the integration of three peoples: Latins, Sabines and Etruscans, made up of around a hundred original gentes. At the head of each tribe there was a tribunus, and each tribe was divided into ten curiae, so in total thirty curiae. From here the Assemblies of the people by curia (Comitia Populi Curiata) were formed, called Comizi curiati which were the first Roman assembly. Tito Livio adds that augurs belonging to the tribes of Ramnes, Titienses, Luceres were named, so that they were odd (for a majority in case of non-unique interpretations) and that each had an equal number. Here too, since there were three, it was possible to decide by majority in the event of divergent verdicts. After Romulus who divided the population of square Rome into three tribes, king Servius Tullius in the 6th century BC divided the people into five classes, according to census (set of goods and incomes), and into centuries (of about a hundred components). Thus four urban tribes were established, of those who had land holdings in the area, which excluded the plebs. From the initial three tribes of Romulus, according to tradition, we moved on to the pages of Numa Pompilius, and to the 20 tribes of Servius Tullius. Under the Tarquins the Roman territory was divided into twenty-six regions or pagi (from pagus, village). With the end of the monarchy, seven regions were abandoned by the Etruscans, so much so that at the beginning of the new republican phase there were nineteen regions, including the four urban ones. From 495 BC the tribal organization has twenty-one tribes, made up of the 4 urban Servian tribes (Collina, Esquilina, Palatina and Suburana) and the 17 rustic ones (Camilla, etc.), with the two new tribes of Claudia and Clustumina or Crustumina. Free and older Roman males were registered in the electoral districts (tribus) for the place where they owned the largest amount of land. The propertyless males (i.e. the majority of residents in Rome) who were older, free and male, were enrolled in one of the urban tribes. The tribes all bear the names of patrician families, indicating the territories in which those gentes had possessions subsequently distributed among the plebeians, or the territories bordering the possessions of each. From 513 BC to 241 BC, i.e. from the last year of the First Punic War, there were 35 tribes....

The Forum is the center of ancient Rome. It lays between two low hills , the Palatine and Copilotine . In the days before the city was constructed, a small stream ran there, feed from a small lake where the Colosseum is. Small tribes would meet there to trade. It was originally a marketing place. The road, street that runs down the middle of the Forum marks the path of that long gone stream.

"At their lowest, all they had was a second chance." Such a powerful statement! I knew from what I had heard before that the kings of Rome were driven out due to a rape, but I thought it was the king himself who had committed it, not his son. I did not know who her father was, but had heard that her husband was instrumental in abolishing the monarchy. Think on this: Rome is unique (in my knowledge) for a nobility surviving and even thriving after the royal title is abolished. I had not heard of the Sabinian Incident before, where the Romans stole all of those women!

In the “Myth of Rome” how did it become discovered that the twin princely boys who were left for dead and nursed by a wolf, then found by and raised by an anonymous shepherd, were actually the grandsons of the disposed king? Also, the story goes that Remus and Romulus got into a lethal fight over who had saw more birds in the sky as a sign vs. who saw a lessor amount birds, but saw them first! So Romulus killed his twin brother Remus, but had it been the other way around would Rome have been called Reme instead? Just asking for a friend…
