Romulus and Remus were twins abandoned in the river Tiber by their wicked uncles and raised by a she-wolf. They later founded the city of Rome, but Remus died during a fight with Romulus over what to name the city, which was ultimately called Rome. The Roman Empire began in Rome and expanded through invading other lands, including Britain, which was the last invaded due to being across water. Romans participated in bathing, entertainment at the Colosseum, used armor and fortifications like walls for protection in battle, and formations like the tortoise for shield defense.
