The Three Mothers of Romulus and Remus

Today we're taking a look at one of Rome's foundation myths, the birth of Romulus and Remus. The twin descendants of Aeneas and his mother Venus, these boys may have been the sons of the war god Mars. But what about the women who brought them into this world? Romulus and Remus were cared for by three mothers: Rhea Silvia, their birth mother; a wolf who found them in the wild; and Acca Larentia, who adopted them as her own. In this video we explore the many (many) ancient sources who tell this story and look at what the accounts of these three women tell us about Rome's values and cultural identity.
