## Resource

WE MADE IT! One hundred episodes in and we finally got to the founding of Rome. Just under thirty-nine hours of content later, we finally get to the point of the podcast. Romulus and Remus set out to found a city, but will it be Rome or Remoria? Will it be on the Palatine or the Aventine hill? Only one combination can win- and only one twin will leave the founding alive... Sources for this episode: Appian (1972), Appian's Roman History in Four Volumes (Volume I).
