one hundred and fifty six
We have also systematically learned about India before, which has preserved their own culture relatively completely. Of course, this is also the kindness of Darius! Now we continue to learn about another more special place, this place is called Rome!
Why do we need to know about Rome? In fact, Rome would later become a very powerful empire, and the Roman Empire also contained the element that men all over the world like most, and this element is women! On the silver coins in the city of Rome, there is an engraving
The pattern is absolutely amazing! Anyway, I like some of the Roman systems very much, but Rome is not very powerful at present. The most powerful empires on the earth are still Persia and Greece.
Now let's first understand Rome, which is not very powerful, and Rome is often bullied. Let's learn about it from a story called "The Wolf Boy and the City of Rome".
The Greeks had actually been expanding their territory because the Persian Empire had taken away too much territory from Greece. Therefore, Greece attacked the city of Troy this time. The Greek army plundered and massacred the city of Troy, which caused some people in the city of Troy to eventually flee.
Here, because they were no match for the powerful Greek army, we can also say that the Greeks finally included the city of Troy within their Greek territory.
Anyway, this is how our ancestors fought at this time. As long as they attack a city, then the city is theirs, unlike the rules of our modern civilization.
So some people from Troy escaped by boat and settled at the mouth of the Tiber River in central Italy today. The land here was very fertile and the forests were very lush. The fleeing Trojans liked it very much and settled here.
They settled down and built their own town, named Yalba Longa.
King Alba Longa's younger brother was named Amulius. He was ambitious and deliberately wanted to usurp the throne and replace his brother. Finally he launched a rebellion. After many warriors died, Amulius
The choice was made to exile his brother, and Amulius himself assumed the position of king.
But in order to prevent his brother's descendants from coming to avenge him and seize his throne, Amulius killed his nephew and forced his niece to become a priest. Because at this time they
The culture stipulates that priests cannot get married. In this way, no one will compete with Amulius for the throne, and he can sit back and relax.
Unexpectedly, Mars, the god of war, made Amulius's niece pregnant and gave birth to twins. After Amulius learned about this, he was really surprised and very angry, and then immediately ordered
So he put his niece to death and sent people to throw the twins into the Tiber River.
At this time, the Tiber River was flooding. The slave who was ordered to throw the twins into the river put the basket with the twins on the river and went back, because the slave thought that when the river flooded and rose,
Come up, this will completely drown the two twins.
But at this time, a very thirsty she-wolf came to the Tiber River to drink water. She vaguely heard the crying of the twins. Then the she-wolf followed the crying sound and looked for them. The she-wolf came to the basket.
On the edge, I saw two children, but the she-wolf did not eat the twins, but felt compassion for them, so she took the twins to the cave where she lived, and then breastfed the twins.
Soon, a shepherd passed by this cave while grazing and found the twins. At this time, the female wolf was not here. She probably went out to look for food, so the shepherd took the twins home to raise them, and the shepherd
He had also been inquiring about the identity of the twins. After a long period of inquiry, he finally knew the twins' life experience. Then the shepherd named the two children, the elder brother was named Romulus, and the younger brother was named Remus.
Moreover, the shepherd knew that if these two children were found, they would definitely be killed, so the shepherd hid the life experience of these two brothers and continued to raise them.
Time passed like this day by day, and the two children gradually grew into strong young men. At this time, the shepherd told the two brothers about their life experiences. The two brothers swore that they would take care of their uncle and mother.
Revenge! So the two brothers practiced martial arts very diligently. The non-stop martial arts practice made the two brothers gradually become more and more powerful. And gradually, the two brothers also gained some prestige in this area. Many
People came to seek refuge. But these people who came to seek refuge did not actually know the life experiences of the two brothers.
Once, the two brothers had a conflict with another group of herdsmen, and the younger brother Lemos was unfortunately caught and taken away by the other party. Then the younger brother Lemos was escorted to an old man. The old man saw
Lemos was immediately taken aback by the look on his face, and he quickly asked: Child, can you tell me about your life experience? Lemos saw that the old man had kind eyes and seemed to have no ill intentions, so he asked
He told the old man his own life experience. After hearing this, the old man burst into tears and said: My child, I am your grandfather!
Remus was very happy when he suddenly saw his grandfather. After discussing with his grandfather, he led his grandfather's men and his brother Romulus to march toward Alba Longa in a mighty way.
At this time, many people who hated Amulius's very cruel rule also took up arms and joined their ranks.
Soon the army defeated Amulius's army and even executed Amulius! The two brothers' grandfather was restored to the throne and became king.
But the two brothers were unwilling to rely on their grandfather, so they decided to build a new city. They chose the site of the new city on the Palatine Hill on the banks of the Tiber River where the she-wolf had fed them. After the new city was built, who would the city be named after?
The two brothers had a big dispute over the naming issue, and finally decided to resolve it in a duel.
Finally, his elder brother Romulus killed his younger brother Remus and named the new city after himself, the city of Rome! And this day also became the founding anniversary of the Romans.
After the city of Rome was built, many foreign fugitives, homeless people, thieves and so on came here. Because the city of Rome refused to accept anyone who came! Moreover, all the people in the city of Rome were brave and fierce! They just advocated force! Why?
How could such a situation occur? In fact, this is not difficult to understand at all.
In fact, none of the current people in Rome are devout believers in gods. They are all devout believers in money, and in this era of our ancestors, burning, killing and looting was the fastest way to get money.
It is definitely much faster than the so-called business or hard work. But burning, killing and looting requires absolute force. The city of Rome is the center of violence and all kinds of blasphemy on our planet. This is
It's definitely a very, very crazy town! Everything here is decided by money, and indirectly, by force.
Moreover, it can be said that the city of Rome has indirectly achieved absolute freedom of power! There are not so many cumbersome rules and so on. Whatever you like, as long as you have enough force, just go and grab it! No one will
I'm stopping you, because burning, killing and looting is legal here! So Rome is definitely a very crazy town! This also attracted more people who advocated force to come to Rome.
Now the city of Rome is becoming more and more powerful! And in a fundamental sense, the people of Rome are a real group of lunatics! Therefore, when it comes to the city of Rome, all the city-states and tribes near Rome change their expressions.
Keep a respectful distance!
Moreover, among other city-states and tribes, they believed that the people in Rome were just a group of barbarians, so some tribes also liked to attack the city of Rome! In fact, they attacked the city of Rome because they themselves were threatened and suffered a certain degree of losses.
. Because people in Rome often went to other towns to rob and kill, and then took the money back to Rome for consumption. It was probably like this.
So this led to people in Rome often having large and small conflicts with neighboring city-states and even tribes, but the Romans never seemed to lose! Because the armies of the Romans and other tribes were completely different.
The army is a group of absolutely elite warriors! And they are all trained in the form of actual combat. They are not comparable to the warriors in ordinary city-states or tribes. Perhaps only the Spartan warriors can be as good as the Roman warriors.
Are you going to compete? In fact, this is my guess, haha. In short, we only need to understand that Rome is definitely a good place, and there are more women here who collect money and sleep with men. This is the most shining thing in Rome.
A constituent element, and this behavior is completely legal! This is the culture of Rome! We can also say that the culture of Rome is: force and women! So Rome is very, very strong!
But there were too few women in the city of Rome, so what should we do? King Romulus represented them as the whole of Rome, and then proposed marriage to almost all the surrounding tribes, but all the tribal city-states did not like the Romans, so they all refused
Proposal from King Romulus of Rome.
Although King Romulus of Rome understood that if force must be used, Rome might not be able to lose. But the problem is that there are too many small tribes and small city-states, and it would be more troublesome if they united. So King Romulus of Rome
