Point of Divergence … Most of what we now call the Modern World can trace its roots back to Ancient Rome. The most popular legend about how Rome was founded involves the twins Romulus and Remus. Born to a vestal virgin, the King at the time felt threatened by the birth of these twins, and ordered them to be abandoned on the banks of the Tiber River. They were discovered by a she wolf who weaned them, and the two boys were later raised by a shepherd, growing up unaware of their royal identities. When they finally discovered their identity, the two young men disagreed on where to found a new city. Remus was killed by either Romulus or one of his supporters, and Romulus established what would later become known as the city of Rome.
What if the two boys were never discovered by the banks of the Tiber River by the she wolf and passed away? Rome is never founded. How does this shape the world as we know it today?
