Rome: day one

First thoughts

An epochal event

The site of Rome before Rome

The places of Rome

Remus and Romulus and the kings of Alba Longa

The Palatine

The preliminary rite on the Aventine

The blessing of the Palatine and the founding of Roma quadrata

The founding of the forum, the capitol, and the citadel

The forum

The capitolium and the arx

The ordering of the regnum, or the constitutio romuli

The ordering of time

The ordering of space and men

Enemies.
