What does he say at the end?
“In another life I could have called you friend” or something like that.
I feel that way about a few older, stubborn dems that I know.

An underground shrine to Romulus is plausible, but a sarcophagus is contrary to the tradition that Romulus disappeared in a whirlwind. If there is a sarcophagus, then the alternative account gains credence — that a jealous Senate tore Romulus limb from limb.

What evidence is there that the sarcophagus they found belongs to THE Romulus, legendary founder of Rome? I mean, is he the only one who ever bore that name? Odds are, probably not.

Huh.
They found asparagus in Rome.
Probably some broccoli in Venice.

Not sure I believe this.
Wouldn’t something mentioning Romulus also have mentioned Remus? (Or at least the briar patch or the tar baby)
