a look back to the foundation legend

In September of 2008 I posted t.p. wiseman's "remus: a roman myth".

It's now relevant again, to our current read Roma, the Novel of Ancient Rome by Steven Saylor.  In another context, there was the post lemuria, lemuralia – feast of the lemures.

And here is another nice Wikimedia Commons image:
