Learn about their diets as well as what weapons they used and how these things resulted in bloody fighting and a spectacle the whole city came to witness. We'll continue on to Palatine Hill where you will hear the most famous story told throughout Rome. Legend has it that this is where brothers Romulus and Remus were found by a wolf who raised them into adulthood. As they were sons of a God they decided it was their destiny to build a city and rule as its king. They fought to be the city's ruler and only one brother survived. We will take a break for lunch and see the Trevi Fountain. Our day continues with a visit to the Vatican museum where we will have 'skip the line' entrance.
