Chapter 738

Although the background information did not mention any time information, when Zhang Heng heard the names of the five people, he knew where he had come this time.

Ancient Rome.

Or rather, the Roman Empire.

The origin of all brilliant stories often comes from a legend, and ancient Rome is no surprise.

Numito and amulio are brothers, and their father is the king of Latin. When the king died, he divided the legacy into two parts and let his two sons choose. Numito chose the throne, while amulio chose the countless treasures brought back by his ancestors from Troy.

So one of the brothers became king, and the other became rich.

However, amulue, who had a lot of wealth, was obviously not willing to live under the rule of his elder brother. So he used his wealth to bribe the ministers and the army, and successfully usurped the throne. He exiled his elder brother numito, and killed numito's son. However, due to his daughter's plea, he finally opened up and did not kill the elder brother My brother's daughter, Sylvia, made Sylvia a virgin of Vesta.

Vesta virgin is a sacrifice to the Vesta goddess of the sacred fire. She must keep her virginity and stay away from men because of her sacred duty. In this way, Sylvia will have no offspring. However, no one thought that Mars, the God of war in the middle, suddenly joined in. He fell in love with Sylvia and failed to control her lower body, which made Sylvia pregnant with twins.

Amulue was very angry when he heard the news, but because he didn't dare to offend Mars, he had to confine Sylvia. After giving birth to her, he put two babies in baskets and threw them into the river to let them die naturally. But the river finally brought the baskets to the bank. A female wolf came to feed them, and a woodpecker also helped them find food, and finally they survived Until a passing shepherd adopted them and named them Mulus and Lemos.

Like all other great legends, there is always a turning point before a hero becomes a hero. A force pushes him to pull up the sword in the stone.

The same is true for Mulus. The two brothers soon grew up, and then came by accident. Lemus was caught in a conflict between shepherds and was caught by the king. It was at this time that Mulus learned his life experience. He gathered a lot of people who hated and dissatisfied with amulue and launched an uprising. In the end, he killed amulue and rescued his brother.

But when all the dust settled, they did not inherit the throne. Instead, they chose to return the kingdom to their exiled grandfather numito. Later, they built a new city where the shepherd found the bamboo basket.

However, in the process of building the city, the two brothers had differences, which led to a big war. Mulus finally won the war and killed Ramos.

And the new city is also named after his name.

This is the origin of the name of Rome, the capital of ancient Rome.

…………

This story certainly sounds like dog blood and God stick in later generations, but there are many similar stories in China, such as Liu Bang's beheading of white snake, Lao Tzu's passing through Hangu pass and Ziqi's coming to the East, and so on. Basically, the earlier the time is, the more mythological elements will be mixed in.

In the words of the author of the history of Rome, "they are not built on reliable historical materials, but I suggest that they need not be affirmed or denied."

In a word, with the establishment of the city of Rome by murus, Rome entered the era of monarchy. At this time, it was about 753 B.C., and then Rome embarked on the road of expansion. In 509 B.C., with the overthrow of the last king of Etruscan, little Tarquin, by the Senate, Rome officially entered the era of Republic.

Of course, the process was not smooth sailing. Rome was also isolated by neighboring countries. However, after three Macedonian wars, Rome controlled the whole of Greece, and then the Syrian war let it control West Asia. Then Caesar appeared on the stage. After crossing his political enemies and two allies, he became the emperor in a practical sense, but it was not easy He was later assassinated and killed.

Then his adopted son Octavian came on the stage. After crossing his political enemies and two allies (yes, you are right, the pattern is the same), he established the head of state politics, and Rome officially entered the era of Empire.

The Roman Empire also entered its heyday in the andornian Dynasty. Five Ming emperors, the five people Zhang Heng heard in the background introduction, were also known as the five virtuous emperors, especially the period from nevar to andornian, also known as the golden age of Roma.

Rome had a strong army, stable politics, vast territory and unprecedented prosperity.

However, in the reign of Aurelius, Rome had actually begun to decline, with barbarian invasion, frequent border wars, and a plague sweeping across the country. Under the influence of dual factors, the decrease of population, the decrease of tax revenue and the increase of military expenditure brought about financial crisis.

Thanks to the presence of the emperor Aurelius in Rome, he was a part-time philosopher. He worked very hard all his life, fighting against the nobles of the Senate, fighting against the barbarians, and fighting civil war at the same time. Even so, he still took the time to write such a great philosophical work as meditation.But with the death of Aurelius, the Roman Empire did turn from prosperity to decline, no longer prosperous in the golden age. His son Commaud was also the last emperor of the Antonian Dynasty. As for the later things, Rome is another story.

Zhang Heng roughly speculated that his time should be at the end of the second century.

At this time, although Rome had already begun to rise and fall, and the Empire would fall into a long period of civil strife after Commaud's death, now one fifth of the world's population is still under the rule of the Roman Empire, with a territory spanning thousands of miles, which is a real empire.

In fact, Zhang Heng was very interested in this trip to Rome. After all, ancient Roman civilization, as an important source of Western civilization, has an impact on future generations in all aspects. Unfortunately, most of future generations can only learn about it from films and literary works.

However, Zhang Heng had the opportunity to travel through this ancient and huge empire in person. Of course, the main task also reminded him that this trip to Rome might not be too easy.

So far, he has received two survival tasks, one is a novice copy of survival on a desert island, and the other is a copy of the Sufen war. Survival tasks are simple and easy to say, even if you do nothing, as long as you live to the end of the copy, but it's troublesome, because it often means that it's not easy just to live.
