## Resource

Numa Pompilius' rule is a lot less exciting than that of Romulus in terms of warfare. Instead, we get a whole lot of religious restructuring, instilling piety into the rabble that is Roman society, and a mysterious burial with sacred texts the later Republic will never address again... That and calendar administration. Time period: 716- 672 BCE Relevant individuals: Numa Pompilius Sources for this episode: Cassius Dio (1961), Dio’s Roman History in Nine Volumes. Volume II.
