Professor Airoli has been able to trace
all this to its very inception, finding that
the Aventine was the center and beginning
of the imperial city.
Thence Romulus, following the example
or the Etruscans, made forays upon the

marshes. and when they had been con.

Romulus was called after Rome.
Rome was established on at least some Of
its seven hills long before the birth Of its
reputed founder.

The work in the Forum has been going on

Lapis Niger, the famous black stone. deep

These expectations have been realized now

REMAINS OF WALL FOUND.
How stirring was the tale of the contest
between the brothers. and the indignant
wrath Of Romulus, who slew his brother
for leaping over the city wall which he had
built. The remains OF this wall of Romuluj

for or against the story.

Remus jumped over it or not? Yet. in a
