Twin brothers Romulus and Remus are mere shepherds living a peaceful life on the banks of the Tiber. Fate has big plans for them — as founders of the city of Rome. First, however, they must escape with Priestess Satnei through the marshes and forests, chased by the soldiers of Alba Longa. The promise of freedom gives the group the courage they need, even though this courage is severely put to the test during an ambush. We've heard the story of the legendary founders, but not like this: the reconstructed Proto-Italic language, the historical backdrops, and the rugged action scenes give this adventure its very own vibe.

A perfect historical romp that takes us back to 753 BC and tells the story of the brothers Romulus & Remus, the original founders of the Roman Empire and the birth of the first king! A piece of mysticism and history wrapped in a very authentic setting with beautiful locations and brutal close-combat fights where gore is not spared. I was surprised with how well the Italians serve up gritty, raw and uncompromising action and the atmosphere of the time is wonderfully portrayed. A solid affair that every history fan should see. 80%
