In west civ today, we started off class learning about the legend of Romulus and Remus. In the legend, there are two twin babies that were abandoned by their mother because male heirs had to be killed. The two twin brothers were adopted by a shewolf. The shewolf and a pecker fed and nurtured them during their infant years. After that they were raised by sheppards, they grew up and decided to start a city. The brothers fought over where and what to call the land. Eventually, Romulus kills Remus, and calls the city Rome, and that's how the legend of Rome started.

Today in west civ we talked more about Rome. Mr. Schick pulled up the song made by Chi Cago and we talked about lyrics. When broken down, the song lyrics make alot of sense and explain Rome perfectly. Also, we discussed the geography of Rome. Rome was (geographicaly) in a perfect spot. They could trade with almost anyone, had perfect fertile grounds, and a thriving city.
