archacolo:ist, DIR. o. Mont"llus. boldly de
clarcs that such persons rs Romulus and
RemuS never existed. According to the
generally accepted calculation of the his

the eighth century Il. c., and the histo-
ricS state that it was on April 81, 1:I3 Il.
c.. when the vision inspired shepherd
RomuluS laid the first stone ON the Pala
tine of the Eternal City of the Seven
Hills. That date would make Rome
300 years old. But DIR. Montcllus pro-

Gent mistress of the world existed long
before that. there being remains OF the
ninth, tenth. eleventh and twelfth ccntu-
ries before the Christian era. The con
