Romulus and Remus
Romulus and Remus
Romulus and Remus were pretty tough dudes. It's no surprise, though. After all, the twin brothers were the sons of the war god Mars (Ares) and were suckled by a she-wolf when they were babies. That's got to make you pretty ferocious. These fierce brothers' major claim to fame was founding Rome. Well, it was mostly Romulus. When he and Remus were trying to decide where to build their new city, they got into a major fight, and Romulus decided to end the debate by stabbing his brother with a sword. Don't try this at home.
