Romulus and Remus: Or Rome Was Not Built In A Day is a historical fiction novel written by Thomas Francis Dillon Croker and first published in 1859. The story is based on the legend of the founding of Rome by the twin brothers, Romulus and Remus. The novel follows the lives of the two brothers, who are abandoned as infants and raised by a she-wolf. As they grow up, they become leaders of a group of outcasts who eventually settle on the site of Rome. However, their relationship is strained by their differing opinions on how to rule their new city. The story also features other historical figures, such as the Etruscan king Lars Porsena and the Sabine women who were abducted by the early Romans. Through their struggles and triumphs, the novel explores themes of brotherhood, leadership, and the challenges of building a civilization from scratch. Overall, Romulus and Remus: Or Rome Was Not Built In A Day is a compelling and entertaining retelling of one of the most famous legends in Western history.A Classical, And What One May Call A Most Absurdly Ridiculous Burlesque, In One Act.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
