We're finally here!
This episode marks the beginning of a deep-dive into Roman history!
We start, like all good stories, at the very beginning where we'll meet the heroes and heroines who were said to have founded one of the biggest empires in history.
Of course, we'll meet the twins, Romulus and Remus, and their furry babysitter, the lupa; but we'll also see how, at the beginning of the Empire, a new story started to circulate, in an effort to nobilitate Augustus' pedigree as he prepared himself to become the first Emperor of Rome.
If you can't get the Roman Empire out of your heard, then you're in the right place!
Let's go together! As they say; all roads lead to Rome.
