<P> In Roman mythology , Romulus and Remus are twin brothers , whose story tells the events that led to the founding of the city of Rome and the Roman Kingdom by Romulus . The killing of Remus by his brother , and other tales from their story , have inspired artists throughout the ages . Since ancient times , the image of the twins being suckled by a she - wolf has been a symbol of the city of Rome and the Roman people . Although the tale takes place before the founding of Rome around 750 BC , the earliest known written account of the myth is from the late 3rd century BC . Possible historical basis for the story , as well as whether the twins ' myth was an original part of Roman myth or a later development , is a subject of ongoing debate . </P>
