I was just reading about the woman in Cambodia who lived feral in the jungle but was found recently. A bit of Googling took me to this website that lists children raised by animals, which brought to mind Romulus and Remus. Given the subject of this entire forum, I thought I'd post the site here, as reference, and perhaps giving some credibility to the story of the brothers. Other ancient legends are on there as well, and the number of children raised by wolves is quite amazing.
A fascinating read.

i've read somewhere that the latin word for wolf (lupus) was slang for prostitute which could mean that it was another story of Romulus....

Since it was all mythical history, we will never know what really(if it indeed) happened.

Ave everyone,
My only question entailing the feral children is that it seems that the language skills are always severely impaired. However that does not pertain to Romulus and Remus, because of them being rescued after suckling.

This could also be a probable explanation.
According to Livy, some said that Loba, wife of Faustulus had suckled them, not a female wolf Indeed, her name meant wolf which was Lupus in Latin.
