Chapter 1758 The she-wolf nurses a baby

"Steven, did you find anything? Can you tell me about it?"

Giovanni asked suspiciously, and looked at the ruins of the Senate that were close at hand.

His men, too, scanned the ruins around them, trying to spot something.

But unfortunately, they did not have the eyes to see through everything, and they were doomed to be in vain.

In their eyes, it was surrounded by a ruined ruin, once very important in the history of Rome, but now nothing more than a ruin.

"You think too much, Giovanni, this is Rome in the 'Eternal City', and I had this idea long before I left for Italy, to explore the treasures of Rome, you know, I am a professional treasure hunter.

Now that I'm in Rome, I don't want to miss this opportunity, and I've always had good luck and I'm confident that I'll find something in Rome, so I propose this collaboration.

In my opinion, this is a win-win situation, both to discover some of the treasures buried in Roman history and to solve some historical mysteries, but also to take the opportunity to hype up and attract more tourists to Rome!"

Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head and said, denying Giovanni's speculation, and did not forget to continue to bewitch.

Of course, he would not admit that he had found anything in the ruins of ancient Rome in front of him, in other parts of the city.

Giovanni glanced at Ye Tian deeply, then shook his head lightly and said:

"Partnering with your Brave Explorers to jointly explore the treasures in the city of Rome is something as important as our Italian gendarmerie that cannot decide.

I'll give you feedback on your ideas to the Italian Ministry of Culture and the Committee for the Preservation of Historical Heritage, and it's up to them and the parliament to decide whether or not to cooperate with you."

"Alright then, Giovanni, I'm looking forward to hearing good news, and hopefully we can have the opportunity to explore the treasure together and give the world a huge surprise"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, his expression was very relaxed, and he didn't show any flaws.

Then Giovanni and the others took their leave, leaving the place full of doubts and confusion.

As soon as the guys left, Anderson whispered excitedly:

"Steven, did you find anything in this ruin? treasure or valuable antique art, where did you find it?"

Not only him, but the rest of the people at the scene were very concerned about the answer to this question, and everyone looked at Ye Tian with excited expressions and full of expectations.

Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"We've been together, and if I find any treasures or top antique artworks, you can't possibly not know, so the answer is obvious, and there's nothing surprising to discover.

My proposal for a joint exploration of the treasures of Rome is based on my judgment that an ancient city like Rome, full of ruins, must have hidden treasures."

Hearing this, Betty and Anderson couldn't help but nod their heads slightly, and they didn't disagree, and they didn't continue to ask.

But deep down, each of them had a vague feeling that Steven must have discovered something, and he would never be able to do it without purpose.

After a few small talks, everyone ended the topic and turned their attention back to the immediate vicinity of the ruins of the Roman Senate.

The Senate, which was the organ of power in ancient Rome, first appeared in the era of kingship, as a national advisory body, composed of the elders of the wealthy nobles of the clan, that is, the Council of Elders, which is considered to be the prototype of the modern parliamentary system.

During the Roman Republic, the Senate consisted of former governors and representatives of other large slave owners.

It has enormous powers, holding the power to rule, approving and approving laws, approving elected officials, managing finances, diplomacy, and the military, as well as implementing major religious measures.

By the time of the Roman Empire, power was increasingly concentrated in the emperor, and the Senate lost its original political status, but remained the political backbone of aristocratic rule.

It was because of its prominence and power that the building of the Senate was able to occupy a place in the Roman Forum, and in the most important position.

Compared with other historical sites in the 'Roman Forum', the Senate is relatively well preserved because of its long historical existence.

Although 2,000 years have passed, the ruins of the Senate still stand a basically complete Romanesque building, with an earthy yellow exterior wall, three stories high, and a small scale.

From the outside, this Romanesque building is unremarkable and quite dilapidated, revealing the vicissitudes of history.

In front of the Romanesque building of the Senate, a modern awning is erected, and under the shed is a large black marble that stands out.

Not far from this Romanesque building, opposite the Roman Forum, there is an even more magnificent Senate building, the Senator's Palace.

It was rebuilt in 1538 by Michelangelo during the Roman Republic, and is now the seat of the Roman city government and one of the political centers of Rome.

After quickly scanning the scene, Ye Tian began to carefully visit and admire the buildings and ruins on the ruins of the Senate, the first of which was the ancient Romanesque building.

The Romanesque building, while still intact, is crumbling and is not allowed to be visited by tourists, who can only stand outside the parapet.

As for the situation under the ruins and awnings next to it, there is no such problem, and it can be seen clearly at a glance.

Standing outside the metal fence and watching for a while, Ye Tian began to explain, so that Betty and the others could better visit and learn more about the relevant knowledge.

"At the dawn of the Roman Republic, the Senate was an institution that was traditionally believed to have been created by Romulus, the founder of the Roman city, as an advisory council.

The black marble in front of the ruins of the Senate is said to be a holy place, the tomb of Romulus, the founder of Rome, where the founder of Rome is buried.

At first, the Senate consisted of only a hundred heads of Roman families, who were called Paternals, and later evolved the term nobility, and the Senate was a lifelong senator who did not have much power at first,......"

While explaining, Ye Tian did not forget to look through and secretly probe the inside of the earthy yellow building in front of him, as well as the situation deep underground of the black marble and many ruins.

As far as the eye could see, the earthy yellow Romanesque building not far in front was instantly seen through by Ye Tian, and the situation inside the building was immediately revealed, which was extremely clear.

The walls and roof of the building are carved with many ancient Roman style ornaments, and some of the sculptures that were originally placed in it have long since disappeared, leaving only some marble bases.

The hall on the first floor was also lined with steps and brick and stone seats, apparently a meeting place, but nothing else, empty.

As for any hidden hidden compartments, secret rooms and the like, Ye Tian didn't find it.

Even if there are secret compartments and secret rooms here, it will not be his turn to discover what is hidden inside, let alone today!

Over the past 200 years, countless archaeologists and historians have certainly entered this place and explored inside, and those guys are not blind!

After quickly taking a look at this Romanesque building, Ye Tian immediately shifted his gaze, looked at the ground of this building, and began to explore the situation deep underground.

In the underground of this ruin, there are some buried things, namely some rusty ancient weapons, bronze vessels, pottery, coins and other items, as well as the remains of one or two sculptures.

Although these things were all old antiques and had a certain value, they couldn't impress Ye Tian and surprise him.

After looking through the Romanesque building and the many ruins around it, Ye Tian looked at the black marble under the awning, as well as the so-called Roman holy place.

You can see that on that piece of marble, there are some ancient Latin and ancient Roman style ornaments, as well as some patterns.

Although he didn't know ancient Latin, through the traces of carving, those ancient Roman-style ornaments and patterns, Ye Tian instantly came to an accurate judgment.

More than 2,000 years ago, the words and patterns were engraved on black marble, apparently by the ancient Romans, not by later generations.

This also shows that this black marble was probably transported to the Roman Forum more than 2,000 years ago, and has been there ever since.

However, the inscriptions and patterns on the marble have a history that is hundreds of years later than the time of Romulus and the founding of Rome.

Could it be that hundreds of years after Romulus's death, the Romans moved this black marble from elsewhere to commemorate him?

Perhaps there is another possibility, this is just a trick played by the old foxes of the Senate, using the huge prestige of Romulus to elevate the status of the Senate and gain more power!

Whatever the black marble came to be, what kind of story is hidden behind it.

After more than 2,000 years of history, it has been given a layer of sacredness, deified, revered by all the Romans, and its original origin no longer matters!

Under the perspective, this sacred black marble was immediately completely seen through by Ye Tian, and it was a dense stone inside, and there was no hidden secret!

But deep underneath the black marble, that is, the underground of the so-called holy land, Ye Tian really saw a burial chamber made of masonry and concrete, which surprised him.

The burial chamber was not very large, quite old, but there were no coffins in the burial chamber, only a few quite good sculptures, which stood in a few corners of the burial chamber.

In addition, the walls and ceilings of the burial chamber are carved with many exquisite ornaments and patterns in the ancient Roman style.

In particular, a mural carved on the marble in the center of the tomb roof made him almost exclaim with excitement, but fortunately, his emotional control ability was very good, so he did not show his filling.

It is a tirewolf feeding two human babies, and the carving is very clever and lifelike, apparently by an ancient Roman master carver.

The appearance of this marble fresco fits perfectly with the legend that this is the burial place of Romulus, the founder of Rome.

According to legend, Romulus, the founder of Rome, and his twin brother Remus were raised by a she-wolf.

Because of this legend, the emblem of Rome throughout the ages is the 'she-wolf nursery', and the she-wolf has become one of the totems of Rome.

From this alone, it is absolutely certain that this is the burial place of Romulus, the founder of Rome.

As for whether it is a real cemetery or a trick played by the Senate, it doesn't matter!

Because this is only a symbol, it does not seem to be particularly important whether there is a coffin of Romulus in the tomb or whether there is his bones or not.

Of course, it would be more convincing if there were the coffin and bones of Romulus.

But alas, this is an empty tomb, and God knows where the coffin in it flew, maybe never at all!

After thoroughly inspecting the entire tomb, Ye Tian was very sure.

This is definitely the biggest discovery since arriving in Rome, and once it is born, it is sure to cause a huge sensation and it will become a real Roman shrine in an instant!
