Romulus

Yemos.

Wake up.

Wake up.

We're alive.

-Where we are? -I don't know.

Did you see them?

Who are they?

-Why are you keeping us here? -We're thirsty.

Water, please! I beg you.

We're thirsty.

What's that?

What...

Tell me your names.

I'm Wiros.

And who are you?

We're the children of Rumia, the only Goddess.

Older than the starry sky and the mountains.

We were taught to fear her,

but on the day of misfortune

we invoked her and she saved us.

Rumia...

Will she save us as well?

Today you two

will die together.

Rumia, Mother of men and Gods,

you who create and destroy,

welcome these your children.

I am the She-wolf.

I protect the children.

Children.

Children.

You're dead.

And today Rumia has given you new life.

Puppies have tender meat,

cut me the best piece.

I'm hungry and I want to eat.

Nobody eats this meat.

What are you talking about, Lucius?

This is a sacrifice.

The Lady of the Wolves hates us.

-At night we hear her breath. -You make sacrifices to Rumia?

I told them that you'd have punished them,

but they didn't listen to me.

Was it you who decided, Lucius?

Or who was it?

I decided.

You?

You know these things are decided by the king.

We're all dying!

First Hostus, then Taurus.

Silence!

If you want to decide,

you have to take my place.

It's over, Cnaeus.

You are no longer our king.

Wait.

What will you do without a king?

Lucius...

We need someone to command.

Do you want a king, Maccus?

Go with him.

There are ten of us, Cnaeus, and you are alone.

If you want to live,

find somewhere far away from this camp.

You don't know what you're doing.

Without a leader,

you'll kill each other.

And Rumia...

will come to drink your blood.

I know she survived.

I want to see her.

What did he do to you?

He erased vain thoughts,

he illuminated only what matters.

When will you come back home?

When Enitos has been avenged.

It will happen soon.

Numitor and Silvia have violated their exile.

Ertas is hiding them in Gabi,

and they're waiting there for Yemos to give him power that is not his.

Will you leave with your army?

Yes, in five days.

Take me with you.

I'll bring him to you alive.

You'll be the one who kills him.

They aren't Latin,

they have names I've never heard before.

Don't stare at her.

They feed her only fruit and milk.

Is she sick?

She isn't sick...

she's sacred.

Let's get away from here.

Tonight, when everyone is asleep.

Nobody leaves without the permission of the pack.

Ask them to heal you.

They have herbs.

Convince my father to take me with him.

You're not ready.

I will show you that Mars is with me.

Your body is still not as strong as that of a man.

Does it hurt?

Get that looked at,

or you'll lose it.

We aren't like other peoples.

Our fathers' fathers were born in the land of the Osci.

From the day of their birth they were destined for exile.

They followed a pack of wolves and came to your lands.

They learned your language, they built a village.

They only wanted to live in peace.

But your kings

burned that village and exterminated them.

Some survived, they fled to the forest...

and consecrated themselves to the Goddess all peoples hate.

This mark that we carry on our bodies

they imposed it on their children.

Have you never seen a city?

Herennèis has seen one.

And with him Deftri.

I was very young,

I remember only the blood.

We walked the way of our fathers in the other direction,

to the lands of the Osci.

But the time had not yet come.

Only Deftri and I survived.

How old are you, Wiros?

More than 15 and less than 20.

I think.

Don't you know when you were born?

In Velia I was a slave.

Nobody counted my age.

Look at him carefully, Herennèis.

Do you remember him?

Not at all.

You have our mark.

That's why we saved you.

Let's eat.

He has your mark.

I'm a Latin.

Why do you want me with you?

While you were in the forest, we followed you,

we saw you fighting for him

and that's why we decided to keep you alive.

But now you know who we are

and we can't let you go.

My place is where there is justice.

Was it Attus who sent you here?

You should go back to him.

I have memory and rage.

This will be enough for me.

We will kill Yemos,

then I promise you that I will be only your daughter.

Men!

Celebrate Ilia,

daughter of Mars

and daughter of Amulius!

She will be Alba's salvation.

-How much longer? -All night,

if it serves to get rid of the fever.

Amulius is marching towards us

with armed men.

Hirtius isn't with us.

Yes, Cordius.

I have no news and I don't want to imagine the worst.

If Amulius is on the march, the worst has already happened.

We don't know yet what brings Amulius to Gabi.

No, Lausus, what's happening is clear to everyone.

I brought a king here who was cursed by the Gods.

And I supported the cause of a boy

everyone believes killed his brother.

Now I will have to face the consequences of my acts.

So what do you want to do?

I won't decide for myself, you are here to be heard.

Numitor is here for your decision.

You have decided, we accept.

Why are you asking us now what to do?

I need to know that you are with me.

Hiding Numitor

perhaps will keep hope alive until Yemos, the rightful heir,

appears alive.

If the Council agrees...

We will hide Numitor 20 miles from here.

In the lands of Eulinos, the Greek potter.

Lausus,

I entrust Numitor and his daughter to you.

Only the six of us know this secret.

I invoke all the Gods to watch over this sacred covenant.

We are with you.

We are with you.

Will I help you?

The She-wolf says that maybe you were with me and Herennèis
