  Rome - From a Republic to an Empire

  The story of Rome’s foundation is a captivating blend of myth and history, shaping the identity of one of the greatest civilizations in human history. Rooted in legend and forged through early struggles, the foundation of Rome reflects both its mythological beginnings and the realities of its initial development as a small settlement along the Tiber River. 
  The legendary origin of Rome is steeped in the myth of Romulus and Remus, twin brothers born to the god Mars and a mortal princess named Rhea Silvia. Abandoned at birth and raised by a she-wolf, the brothers grew strong and brave. Eventually, they sought to establish a city where they had been rescued. However, a dispute over the location led to Romulus killing Remus, and Romulus became the sole founder of the city, naming it Rome after himself. This myth, while dramatic and symbolic, represents Rome’s spirit of resilience and its connection to both divine and mortal heritage. 
  Historically, Rome’s beginnings were far more modest. Archaeological evidence points to the establishment of small villages on the Palatine Hill around the 8th century BCE. These communities were primarily Latin-speaking shepherds and farmers who gradually united for mutual protection and trade. Over time, the settlement expanded, eventually forming a cohesive community governed by local chieftains. The choice of location along the Tiber River proved strategic, offering both a water source and a means of trade and communication.

  Athenian Agora and Roman Forum...

  The center of political and commercial interaction in the Ancient Greek polis was the agora. The word essentially means a gathering place or an open space, and in all Greek city states, the agora was central to all aspects of daily life and commerce. As the agora developed as a civic space, particularly from the 6th century BCE onward in Athens, the architectural splendor of the buildings associated with it became an ever more obvious demonstration of the power and glory of Athenian democracy. In its earliest forms, an agora in maritime cities was invariably situated near the sea, while in inland urban centers, it was usually located at the foot of the hill that normally provided the city’s ultimate defense. The agora was always the oldest part of any city and, as such, and as well as being the commercial hub of the area, also became the center of the religious and political life of the polis. In Homer’s time, an agora might have seats for the comfort of the citizens that had assembled to consult with one another. The city’s oldest sanctuaries were always located either in or very close to the agora itself, and the first festive games were held in its open space.  
  The Roman Empire is the most famous in history, and the center of the far-reaching empire’s activities was located in the Forum, a low area between the Capitoline and Palatine hills in Rome. The topography held a great deal of significance for Romans, and consequently so many layers of myth were laid on top of the landscape and buildings that it is difficult to separate legend from actual historical fact. As a low-lying area near the Tiber river, the Forum was subject to much flooding, and even into the 20th century, the Forum area could flood upwards of over 40 feet above sea level. This would factor significantly in the imagination of Romans, who later ascribed the flooding with saving the city’s founders, Romulus and Remus, from execution.

  “These Merovingians are said to be a dynasty of Frankish, priest-kings, with magical powers…..” 
   
  The whole history of the Holy Grail is linked inextricably with the mysterious family called the Merovingians. It was a name used in the blockbuster, The Matrix, because of the power the name holds. Why? 
   
  There are tales of mystery and magic, of wisdom and light and last but not least of all, descent from God himself via His Son, Jesus, and His supposed wife, Mary Magdalene. 
   
  Some even go so far as to say that the Merovingian’s were descended from an ultra-ancient race of fallen angels that spawned the globe, taking wisdom and knowledge with them as Atlantis sank. 
   
  The truth is that the line of Merovech was very special and worshipped the serpent. Their history is one of the most magical, mystical and murderous tales. 
   
  We will discover that their very bloodline was so special to a secret and sacred order or serpent worshippers, that their lives were in constant danger. That, and they held a dark secret that was twisted out of all recognition by the Christian Church. 
   
  Prepare to discover the real secret of the Da Vinci Code.
