Romulus

**There is a picture coming, I just haven't figured out how to add one with my post yet..**
When Tatius died, the Romans and the Sabines shared one same ruler, romulus; both tribes were treated equally. Mars laid aside his helmet; to the Father of both gods and men, he said: "O Father, it is time: the power of Rome is firm; it does not hang upon the might of just one man. then grant the prize you promised me and Ilia's son, your worthy grandson, Romulus: It's come, the time to snatch him up from earth and set this Roman in the heavens. Once you said, with all the gods in council (I recall your gracious words-inscribed upong my sould): 'There will be one you'll bear to the gray-blue of heaven.' Let your promise now prove true." Jove nodded in assent; he hid the sky  with his encumbering clouds; he terrified the earth with thunder and with lightning bolts.
