Chapter 1758: Mother wolf

"Steven, did you find something? Can you tell me something?"
Giovanni asked suspiciously, and looked at the ruins of the Senate nearby.
The same goes for his men, all scanning the surrounding ruins, trying to find something.
Unfortunately, they did not have the eyes to see through everything, and they were doomed to be in vain.
In their view, the surrounding is a ruined wall, which was once very important in the history of Rome, but now it is just a ruin.
"You think too much, Giovanni, this is the'Eternal City' Rome. Long before I left for Italy, I had this idea to explore the treasures in Rome. You know, I am a professional treasure hunter.
Now that I have come to Rome, I certainly don't want to miss such an opportunity, and my luck has always been good, and I am also very confident that I will find something in Rome, so I made this proposal for cooperation.
In my opinion, this is a good thing for a win-win situation. It can not only discover some treasures buried in Roman history, solve some historical mysteries, but also take the opportunity to publicize and attract more tourists to Rome! "
Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head and said, denying Giovanni's guess, and didn't forget to continue to bewitched.
Of course he would not admit that he had found something in the ruins of ancient Rome before his eyes and elsewhere in the city of Rome.
Giovanni took a deep look at Ye Tian, ​​then gently shook his head and said:
"Cooperate with your Brave Fearless Exploration Company to jointly explore treasures in the city of Rome. Such an important matter cannot be determined by our Italian Cultural Relics Gendarmerie.
Later, I will feed your thoughts back to the Italian Ministry of Culture and the Committee for the Protection of Historical Heritage. It is up to them and the Parliament to decide whether to cooperate with you."
"Well, Giovanni, I look forward to hearing good news. I hope we can have the opportunity to explore the treasure together and give the world a huge surprise."
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, his expression was very relaxed, without showing any flaws.
Afterwards, Giovanni and the others left, leaving here with many doubts and confusion.
As soon as these guys left, Anderson asked in a low voice excitedly:
"Steven, did you find something in this ruin? Where did you find the treasure or the valuable antique artwork?"
Not only him, but the rest of the audience were very concerned about the answer to this question. Everyone looked at Ye Tian with excited expressions and full of expectations.
Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"We have always been together. If I find any treasure or top antique art, you can't know it, so the answer is obvious, and there is no surprise.
The reason why I proposed a joint exploration of the treasures in the city of Rome is based on my judgment. An ancient city like Rome, full of ruins, will inevitably have hidden treasures."
Hearing these words, Betty and Anderson could not help but nodded slightly, had no different opinions, and did not continue to question.
But deep in their hearts, each of them had a vague feeling that Steven must have discovered something, he would never be aimless.
After chatting for a few words, everyone ended the topic, put their attention in front of them, and continued to visit the ancient Roman Senate ruins within easy reach.
The Senate was an organ of power in ancient Rome. It first appeared in the imperial era. As a national advisory organization, it was composed of clans' wealthy and noble elders, namely the Council of Elders. It was considered the prototype of the modern parliamentary system.
During the Roman Republic, the Senate was composed of former state officials and representatives of other major slave owners.
Its power is huge, it has the power to govern, has the real power to approve and approve laws, approve the highest officials elected, manage finances, diplomacy, military affairs, and implement major religious measures.
By the time of the ancient Roman Empire, power was increasingly concentrated on the emperor, and the Senate lost its original political status, but it was still the political pillar of the noble rule.
It is precisely because of the prominent position and power that the Senate possesses that the architecture of the Senate can occupy a place in the Roman Forum, and in the most important position.
Compared with other historical sites on the ‘Ancient Roman Forum’, the Senate has a longer history, so the building is relatively well preserved.
Although after a long period of two thousand years, there is still a basically complete Romanesque building on the ruins of the Senate. The exterior wall is ochre, three stories high and small in scale.
From the appearance of the building, this Roman-style building is unremarkable and rather dilapidated, revealing a breath of historical vicissitudes.
In front of the Romanesque building of the Senate, there is a modern sunshade, and under the shed is a huge black marble, which is very conspicuous.
Not far from this Romanesque building, opposite the Roman Forum, there is a more magnificent Senate building, the Senate.
It was a building during the Roman Republic period that Michelangelo presided over the reconstruction in 1538. It is now the resident of the city of Rome and one of the political centers of Rome.
After a quick scan of the scene, Ye Tian began to take a closer look at the buildings and ruins on the ruins of the Senate, the first to bear the brunt of the ancient Romanesque building.
Although this Roman-style building looks quite complete, it has long been shaky, and tourists are not allowed to enter it. They can only stand outside the guardrail.
As for the broken walls and the situation under the awning, there is no such problem. It is unobstructed and can be seen clearly at a glance.
Standing outside the metal fence and watching for a while, Ye Tian began to explain, so that Betty and the others could better visit and learn more about related knowledge.
"At the beginning of the Roman Republic, the Senate was an institution. Traditionally, the Senate was founded by Romulus, the founder of the city of Rome, as an advisory council.
The black marble in front of the ruins of the Senate is said to be a holy place. It is the tomb of the founder of Rome, Romulus, where the founder of Rome is buried.
In the beginning, the Senate consisted of only one hundred heads of Roman families. They were called elders. Later, the term aristocracy evolved. The senators of the Senate were appointed for life and had little power at the beginning,..."
While explaining, Ye Tian didn't forget to see through, and secretly explored the situation inside the khaki building in front of him, as well as the black marble and many ruins deep underground.
As far as he could see, the khaki Roman-style building not far in front was instantly seen through by Ye Tian, ​​and the situation inside the building immediately appeared, extremely clear.
On the walls and roofs of the building, there are many ancient Roman-style decorations. Some sculptures originally placed inside have long disappeared, leaving only some marble pedestals.
In the lobby on the first floor, there are rows of seats made of bricks and stones similar to steps. It is obviously a meeting place. Apart from this, there is nothing else, empty.
As for the hidden compartments and secret rooms, Ye Tian didn't notice it.
Even if there are hidden compartments and secret rooms here, the things hidden inside will not be his turn to discover, let alone remain today!
In the past two hundred years, countless archaeologists and historians must have entered here to investigate and explore, and those guys are not blind!
After a quick perspective of the Roman-style building, Ye Tian immediately shifted his eyes, looked at the ground of the building, and began to explore the situation deep underground.
In the underground of this site, there are some things buried, including some rusty ancient weapons, bronze vessels, pottery, coins and other items, as well as the remains of one or two sculptures.
Although these things are old antiques and have a certain value, they can't move Ye Tian and make him feel pleasantly surprised.
After looking through the Romanesque building and many surrounding ruins, Ye Tian looked at the piece of black marble under the awning and the so-called Roman shrine.
It can be seen that some ancient Latin and Roman style decorations and some patterns are carved on that marble.
Although he didn't know ancient Latin, Ye Tian could make an accurate judgment in an instant through the traces of carvings, and those ancient Roman-style decorations and patterns.
More than two thousand years ago, those words and patterns were engraved on black marble, apparently from the hands of ancient Romans, not forgeries by later generations.
This also shows that as early as more than two thousand years ago, this black marble was probably transported to the Roman Forum, and has been placed here since then until today.
However, the history of the words and patterns on the marble is hundreds of years later than the time of Romulus and the history of the construction of the city of Rome. Obviously, there is no small difference.
Is it possible that a few hundred years after Romulus died, the Romans moved this black marble from elsewhere and placed it here in memory of him?
Perhaps there is another possibility. This is just a trick played by the old foxes in the Senate, with the help of Romulus' huge reputation to elevate the status of the Senate and gain more power!
No matter where this black marble came from, what kind of story is hidden behind it.
After a long history of more than two thousand years, it has been endowed with a layer of sacred color, has been deified and admired by all the Romans, its original origin is irrelevant!
Under perspective, this sacred piece of black marble was immediately seen through by Ye Tian. Inside it was a dense stone, and there was no hidden secret!
But deep in the black marble underground, that is, the so-called holy land, Ye Tian really saw a tomb made of bricks and concrete, which surprised him.
The area of ​​the tomb is not too big, it is quite old, but there is no coffin in the tomb, there are only a few quite good sculptures, standing in several corners of the tomb.
In addition, many exquisite patterns and patterns in ancient Roman style were carved on the walls and ceiling of the tomb.
In particular, a mural carved on marble in the center of the tomb made him almost exclaimed with excitement. Fortunately, his ability to control emotions was very good.
It was a pattern of a female wolf feeding two human babies. The carving skills were very brilliant and lifelike, apparently from the hands of ancient Roman carvers.
The appearance of this marble mural fits perfectly with the legend that here is the tomb of the Roman founder Romulus.
According to legend, Romulus, the founder of Rome, and his twin brother Remus ~EbookFREE.me~ were raised by a she-wolf.
It is precisely because of this legend that the city emblem of Rome throughout the ages has been the ‘she wolf nurturing picture’, and the she wolf has also become one of the totems of Rome.
Based on this alone, it is completely certain that this is the tomb of the founder of Rome, Romulus.
As for the actual cemetery, or a trick played by the Senate, it doesn't matter!
Because this is just a symbol, the presence of Romulus’s coffin and his bones in the tomb does not seem to be particularly important.
Of course, if there were Romulus's coffins and bones, it would be more convincing.
But it is a pity that this is an empty tomb. God knows where the coffin placed inside has flew, maybe it never has!
After a thorough perspective of the entire tomb, Ye Tian was quite sure.
This is definitely the biggest discovery since arriving in Rome. Once it is born, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, and this place can instantly become a real Roman Holy Land!
