Raised among shepherds but destined for far greater things, Romulus and Remus come of age in a land divided by violence and ambition. Their courage earns them loyal followers, but a chance encounter reveals a truth long hidden—their blood carries the legacy of kings.
As old enemies are confronted and a stolen throne is reclaimed, the fate of Alba Longa is forever changed. Yet victory is only the beginning. Beyond the kingdom lies a lonely stretch of hills beside the Tiber, where two brothers will set out to build something the ancient world has never seen.
Drawing from the accounts of Livy, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Plutarch, and other Roman traditions, this episode follows the rise of Romulus and Remus from humble shepherds to the heirs of a forgotten dynasty, setting the stage for the founding of Rome itself.
