Did the Roman Kings Exist?
Did Rome’s first kings really rule? This episode of Ancient Mysteries weighs the historicity of Romulus, Numa, and the Tarquins against what the ground reveals. We pair the legends with the archaic layers of the Roman Forum—the Lapis Niger altar, the Vulcanal precinct, Regia foundations, hut floors on the Palatine, and early megaprojects like the Cloaca Maxima and the first Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus. We also explain how 21 April 753 BC was derived. No verdict—just the evidence, and the mystery.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
