Description
Rome's founding myth has long been shrouded in mystery. Archaeologist Andrea Carandini presents his most significant findings and theories about ancient Rome, challenging conventional wisdom about the city's origins. Carandini argues that Rome was established in a single ceremony, marking the birth of not only a city but also Western civilization itself. Drawing on his excavations and historical sources, he makes the case for a king who may have been Romulus as the founder of Rome, with a pivotal event taking place on April 21st in the mid-eighth century BC. This illustrated account reveals the significance of Carandini's discoveries, including the discovery of the Palatine Wall, which he believes was part of this inaugural ceremony.
