There was a grave newly dug, and towards this came the procession, a shallow grave, for one must not lie too deep in the Christian soil of the white barbarian, but it was so small a grave! Even Romulus could have filled it, and, as for Moses, it was hardly too large for his feet.
I suppose, Mr. Remus, that you have brought Mr. Romulus with you. In the case of twins, I give no consideration, if I'm offered only a broken lot. I must have the full set, Mr. Remus." Uncle Remus's feelings would have been much hurt if he had not at that moment caught sight of Mowgli accompanied by Baloo and Bagheera.
The brothers appeal to Numitor. His proposal. The vultures of the Appenines. Their function. Powers of the vulture. Auguries. Romulus and Remus take their stations. Result. New dispute. An open collision. Faustulus killed. Romulus is victorious. The building of the city goes on. Plowing the pomœrium. Form of the enclosure. The death of Remus. The institution of the Lemuria.
But, as he imagined that in a warlike nation there would be more kings resembling Romulus than Numa, and that they would go to war in person, he appointed a residentiary priest as flamen to Jupiter, that the sacred functions of the royal office might not be neglected, and he distinguished him by a fine robe, and a royal curule chair.
Peter's of pagan Rome; this indeed was the hill steep on the side of the Forum, and a precipice on that of the Campus Martius where the thunder of Jupiter fell, where in the dimmest of the far-off ages the Asylum of Romulus rose with its sacred oaks, a spot of infinite savage mystery.
"There were many such tribes in Italy, and for centuries they lived here, waging constant warfare with each other and with other tribes and nations." "Were there no civilized people in those days?" asked Edith. "Yes," replied Rafael, "there were the people of Egypt and Greece; and some of the Grecians had already wandered over into Italy before the time of Romulus.
The son of Orestes assumed and disgraced the names of Romulus Augustus; but the first was corrupted into Momyllus, by the Greeks, and the second has been changed by the Latins into the contemptible diminutive Augustulus.
A circle gathered round a very young man who the week before had beaten "Miss Arabella" and "Romulus," and won two thousand louis jumping a ditch in England. One complained that his racehorses were growing fat; another of the printers' errors that had disfigured the name of his horse. The atmosphere of the ball was heavy; the lamps were growing dim. Guests were flocking to the billiard-room.
A Gascon, he exceeded in ill-luck all the gasconnades of France and Navarre; Raoul had a hundred times heard Job and D'Artagnan named together, as the twins Romulus and Remus. D'Artagnan caught Raoul's look of astonishment. "And has not your father told you I have been in England?" "Yes, monsieur le chevalier." "And that I there met with a very lucky chance?" "No, monsieur, I did not know that."
One of these stones struck Romulus on the head, and he fell down stunned and senseless under the blow. His men were extremely terrified at this disaster, and abandoning the pursuit of their enemies they took up the body of Romulus and carried it into the city. It was found, however, that he was not seriously injured. He soon recovered from the effects of the blow and returned into the battle.
