A lot of people do not know about Romulus, the Founder of Rome.
There is the myth — that he and his twin brother, Remus, were born of Mars, the War god. They were raised by wolves, found by a Farmer.
Cain and Able is actually Romulus and Remus.
Romulus killed Remus and then Founded Rome in 753 BCE. But that is not where Romulus’ vile acts end.
Needing to build his “kingdom,” Romulus took in anyone who needed refuge including criminals. Soon, there was a surplus of Men. So Romulus led the Rape of the Sabine — this is why, to this day, men carry women over the threshold on their wedding night, as tribute to the Rape of the Sabine Women.
Here is the record :

The new city was filled with colonists, most of whom were young, unmarried men. While fugitives seeking asylum helped the population grow, single men greatly outnumbered women. With no intermarriage taking place between Rome and neighboring communities, the new city would eventually fail. Romulus sent envoys to neighboring towns, appealing to them to allow intermarriage with Roman citizens, but his overtures were rebuffed. Romulus formulated a plan to acquire women from other settlements. He announced a momentous festival and games, and invited the people of the neighboring cities to attend. Many did, in particular the Sabines, who came in droves. At a prearranged signal, the Romans seized and carried off the marriageable women among their guests.[15]
The aggrieved cities prepared for war with Rome, and might have defeated Romulus had they been fully united. But impatient with the preparations of the Sabines, the Latin towns of Caenina, Crustumerium, and Antemnae took action without their allies. Caenina was the first to attack; its army was swiftly put to flight, and the town taken. After personally defeating and slaying the prince of Caenina in single combat, Romulus stripped him of his armour, becoming the first to claim the spolia opima, and vowed to build a temple to Jupiter Feretrius. Antemnae and Crustumerium were conquered in turn. Some of their people, chiefly the families of the abducted women, were allowed to settle in Rome.[19]
Following the defeat of the Latin towns, the Sabines, under the leadership of Titus Tatius, marshalled their forces and advanced upon Rome. They gained control of the citadel by bribing Tarpeia, the daughter of the Roman commander charged with its defense. Without the advantage of the citadel, the Romans were obliged to meet the Sabines on the battlefield. The Sabines advanced from the citadel, and fierce fighting ensued. The nearby Lacus Curtius is said to be named after Mettius Curtius, a Sabine warrior who plunged his horse into its muck to stymie his Roman pursuers as he retreated. At a critical juncture in the fighting, the Romans began to waver in the face of the Sabine advance. Romulus vowed to build a temple to Jupiter Stator,[vii] to keep his line from breaking. The bloodshed finally ended when the Sabine women interposed themselves between the two armies, pleading on the one hand with their fathers and brothers, and on the other with their husbands, to set aside their arms and come to terms. The leaders of each side met and made peace. They formed one community, to be jointly ruled by Romulus and Tatius.[20]
We see this history glorified in the musical “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” when one of the characters reads Plutarch to the men so they re-enact the abduction of their brides.
So, the Founder of Rome was a Brother-Killing Rapist who staged a Kingdom-Wide Abduction and raping of women for wives. And that is the “Seed” of Rome. It’s all downhill from there.
In contrast, we had The Ancient Persians with Cyrus The Great and Zoroaster with the Ancient Greeks spreading Wisdom on to Confucius and Pythagoras. For perspective.
Wisdom and Knowledge vs. Rape and Murder
We’re going to leave this here, but before I do, when I tell you that Rome would go to the end of the Earth for its Power… Oh… But it does.
And it all starts with The Death of Socrates and Alexander The Great.
