The Mythical Foundations of Rome
• Foundations of cities are dignified by their antiquity, wherein mortal and divine affairs are allowed to mingle. If any people are entitled to consecrate their beginnings and trace them back to divine founders, these are the Roman people, so great is the glory of their military achievement that, when they lay claim to Romulus as city-founder and to his father Mars as parent, all humanity ought to endure it with the equanimity by which they endure our imperium.
•- Livy, History of Rome (1.1)
