LEGENDS OF THE SEVEN KINGS OF ROME
the royal seat was vacant ; Romulus had vanished. His peo ple mourned for him , but after a while a man who was held in much esteem among them declared that their lost ruler had appeared to him in a vision as one of the gods . The king bade me tell you ," said the man , that the gods decree Rome to become the capital of the world , and that if you cul tivate the art of war , no human power will be able to with stand you . Then he vanished into the heavens." The Ro mans believed the story, and after this they worshiped Romulus as a god .
This is the legend of the founding of Rome . The Roman poets and orators were never tired of referring to it , and in the magnificent temple of Ju'pi -ter, called the Capitol , which in later days stood on the Tarpeian Rock , there was a large statue of the wolf and the twin brothers .
SUMMARY
After the fall of Troy , Æneas went to Italy and founded Lavin ium . His son Ascanius founded Alba Longa .
Amulius stole the kingdom from his brother Numitor , and made Rhea Silvia a Vestal virgin . She became the mother of Romulus and Remus . The boys were thrown into the Tiber , but were nursed by a wolf and brought up by Faustulus . When they were grown up , they restored the kingdom to Numitor . Romulus founded Rome in 753 ( ? ) B. C. , having slain his brother in a moment of anger . He admitted as citizens all who chose to come . To obtain wives for them , he stole the women of the Sabines and others . War followed . By the disloyalty of Tarpeia , the Sabines were permitted to enter

The assem bly of patricians , or citizens , was called the comitia curiata .
After Romulus had been taken to the gods , he appeared in a vision and predicted that Rome would become the capital of the world .

THE LEGENDS OF THE SEVEN KINGS OF ROME
( Continued )
BESIDES the story of Romulus and Remus , the Romans had many other legends about the early days of their city . Ac cording to these legends , Romulus was the first of seven kings . It took a whole year to choose his successor, for the Romans wanted a Roman and the Sabines wanted a Sabine. At length they came to an exceedingly wise agreement ; the Romans were to choose the king, but he was to be of the Sabine race . They chose a wise , just man named Nu'ma Pom-pil'i- us . He saw that his subjects were brave , but that
