HEROES AND HEROINES OF EARLY ROME

Romulus and Remus are familiar legendary Roman figures, but what about Camilla, Juno's sacred geese, and Horatio Cocles? You're probably thinking that the "geese" are a mistake in this list, but no, they do belong in it. Had it not been for their actions, there might never have been a Roman Empire. And, such was the case so often in early Roman history - just one person's daring made the difference between a town that stayed a town and one that became a world empire. You'll also find out why George Washington was often called "Cincinnatus" and how triplets battled triplets for the prize - Rome. You'll want to make sure you remember these articles, because the heroes and heroines will be just what you need to "spice up" your term papers with just the right cross-reference. As they say, "all roads lead to Rome," so, too, do so many heroes.
