Sulla sommità del Palatino, nel versante rivolto al Tevere, gli scavi hanno messo in luce un piccolo villaggio di capanne, comunemente collegato con la fondazione di Roma. Ne sono traccia i solchi e i buchi scavati nel suolo naturale, dalla cui forma si è dedotta la presenza di due capanne con muri di terra battuta, sorretti da uno scheletro di pali lignei e con un tetto di rami intrecciati. La posizione delle capanne, coincidente con quella descritta dagli autori antichi, ha suggerito di riconoscervi il luogo in cui secondo la tradizione avrebbe abitato il fondatore Romolo.

On the summit of the Palatine facing the Tiber, excavations have brought to light a small hut village, usually linked to the foundation of Rome. Their existence is indicated by trenches and holes dug into the soil, from whose form archaeologists have deduced the presence of two huts with beaten earth walls, supported by a framework of wooden poles and with a roof of interwoven branches. The position of the huts, coinciding with that described by ancient authors, has suggested that this was the place where the founder Romulus

2. Romulus. Wikipedia

Romulus was the legendary founder and first king of Rome. Various traditions attribute the establishment of many of Rome's oldest legal, political, religious, and social institutions to Romulus and his contemporaries. Although many of these traditions incorporate elements of folklore, and it is not clear to what extent a historical figure underlies the mythical Romulus, the events and institutions ascribed to him were central to the myths surrounding Rome's origins and cultural traditions.
