Episode Info:
This episode recounts the foundation myth of the great Tuscan city of Siena and how 14th-century Sienese government officials claimed to have discovered a document that traced Siena’s ancestry all the way back to Ancient Rome – but not to Rome’s great founder Romulus, but instead to his defunct brother Remus.
