Romulus and Remus: Or Rome Was Not Built In A Day is a historical novel written by Thomas Francis Dillon Croker and first published in 1859. The book is set in ancient Rome and tells the story of the city's legendary founders, Romulus and Remus.The novel begins with the birth of the twin brothers and their abandonment on the banks of the Tiber River. They are discovered by a she-wolf who raises them as her own, and they grow up to become skilled hunters and warriors.As they reach adulthood, Romulus and Remus set out to found their own city, but their differing visions for its future lead to conflict and ultimately, tragedy.The novel is a fictionalized retelling of the founding of Rome, and Croker takes some liberties with the historical record in order to create a more dramatic and engaging story. However, the book is also grounded in a thorough knowledge of ancient Roman history and culture, and provides a vivid and immersive portrait of life in the early days of the city.Overall, Romulus and Remus: Or Rome Was Not Built In A Day is a classic work of historical fiction that offers a thrilling and entertaining glimpse into one of the most fascinating periods of human 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.
