What is the mystery of the origin of Rome?
The design of the Roman national emblem is a female wolf with two nursing children lying under her stomach. It is said that this design is related to the legend of the origin of Rome.

According to legend, after the ancient kingdom of Troy was destroyed by the Greek Coalition forces, Prince Aeneas of Troy fled to the Tiber River with the remnants, and was recruited as a son-in-law by the Latin king and became king. When it reached King Numitore, his brother Amulio usurped the throne and exiled King Numitore. Seeing that the royal family of Numitore was about to die out, her daughter Sylvia married the God of War privately and gave birth to twins. Amulio was so angry that he killed Sylvia and threw her two sons into the river with a bamboo basket. Maybe it's God's will. The twins were floated to the river, and a female wolf took them away and fed them with milk. Many years later, a hunter found these two children, so he adopted them and raised them. One is romulus, and the other is Lemo. When the two brothers grew up, they developed a skill to kill the usurped king and avenge their mother. Then romulus killed Lemo and built a city on the Tiber River, named it "romulus". Later, it gradually became "Rome".

Because the ancestors were the sons of the God of War who grew up drinking wolf milk, the Romans were born brave and aggressive. In the following centuries, Catalonia, parts of Spain and Greece were conquered by several expeditions. Formed a huge empire, which later became the first place to illuminate the glory of the Renaissance, and gave birth to emperors such as Julius Caesar and Augustus. In the past thousand years, Rome has become the main political, economic and transportation center in the west, and is called the "eternal city". In addition, since the Holy See is also located in the Vatican in Rome, Christians come from all directions for pilgrimage. So there is a saying that all roads lead to Rome. Not only because it is a religious shrine, but also because it is a tourist attraction.

Today's Rome is the capital of Italy, with a population of over 2 million. Today, people all over the world still yearn for this place, and tens of millions of people come to visit it every day. Of course, people today come here not only for pilgrimage, but also to visit these ancient ruins. They exude infinite charm. When you are in the grand Colosseum, it seems that you can still hear the horror of people fighting with hungry animals. When you face the ruins of the cylindrical square and the towering granite columns, you may still feel the majestic posture of Julius Caesar. In addition, there are famous monuments such as Venice Square and Pantheon in the city center. Although it is a piece of broken walls, it has a great shock inside, which makes people sigh the grandeur and beauty of Rome.
