Who is Romulus from The Early History of Rome: Books I-V and what is their importance?

Romulus was the founding leader of the city of Rome. He began his life as an orphaned twin, and there are at least two different stories about the birth and childhood of Romulus and Remus, who became the very symbol for the sign of Gemini.

Whether or not they were either actual twins is questionable. For the purpose of this book, they are, as the tale tells that they were both twins, but there was a very really threat from them or of them to their uncle, so he had them cast out.

Subsequently, they were rescued by a wolf or wild animal, after which, they were adopted by a merciful human who may have known their parentage. They were allied and intimate for decades, but there were two events that heralded which of the two was dominant, and it happened to be Romulus.

United, the twins won a battle and became heir to their grandfather. In the end, however, they turned against one another. Romulus destroyed his weaker brother and moved on to found Rome. Over time, Rome began to blossom. Romulus, in turn, was so deeply admired for his wisdom and excellence that by the time he died there were many who believed that he was divine and descended of some other divine being.
