Although there is no time information mentioned in the background information, when Zhang Heng heard the names of the next five people, he knew where he was coming this time.

- Ancient Rome.

Or rather the era of the Roman Empire.

The origin of all glorious stories often comes from a legend, and it is no surprise that ancient Rome did not come as a surprise.

Numito was a brother and their father was the king of the Latins, and when the king died, he divided the inheritance in two and let his two sons choose, Numito chose the throne, while Amulio chose the countless treasures that his ancestors brought back from Troy.

So one of the two brothers became king, and the other became rich and rival the country.

But Amulho, who had a lot of wealth, was obviously not willing to live under the rule of his eldest brother, so he used his wealth to secretly buy the ministers and the army of the court, and successfully usurped the throne, he exiled his brother Numito, and killed Numito's son, but then due to his daughter's intercession, he finally opened the net, and did not kill the eldest brother's daughter Silvia, but made Silvia a virgin of Vista.

The Vestal Virgin is a sacrifice to serve the goddess of the Holy Fire Vesta because of the priesthood must be chaste and away from men, so that Sylvia will not have offspring, but no one expected that the middle god of war Mars suddenly got involved, he fell in love with Sylvia, and failed to control the lower half of his body, so that Sylvia was pregnant with a pair of twins.

Amulio was furious when he heard the news, but because he did not dare to offend the god of war Mars, he could only imprison Sylvia, take her into a basket after giving birth, and throw them into the river, hoping that they would die a natural death, but the river eventually brought the basket to the shore, and a she-wolf came to feed them, and a woodpecker also helped them find food, and finally let them survive, until a passing shepherd adopted them as adopted sons, and named them Mulus and Lemos.

Just like all other great legends, there is always a turning point before a hero becomes a hero, a force that pushes him and pulls up that sword in stone.

The same is true for Mulus, who soon grew up to be married, and then unexpectedly when Lemos was caught in a conflict between shepherds and taken to the king, it was then that Murus learned of his origins, and he gathered many people who hated and resented Amulho to launch an uprising, and finally killed Amulio and rescued his brother.

But when the dust settled, the two of them did not inherit the throne, but chose to return the kingdom to their exiled grandfather, Numito, and later built a new city where the shepherds found the bamboo baskets.

However, during the construction of the city, the two brothers had a disagreement, which led to a great battle, which Mulus eventually won and killed Lemos.

And this new city is also named after his name.

This is where the name of Rome, the capital of ancient Rome, comes from.

…………

Of course, this story sounds very bloody and divine in later generations, but there are many similar stories in China, such as Liu Bang beheading the white snake, such as Lao Tzu passing through Hangu Guan Ziqi Donglai, etc., and basically the earlier the time, the more mythological elements are mixed.

In the words of the author of the History of Rome, "None of them are based on reliable historical sources, but I suggest that they need not be affirmed or denied." ”

In short, with the establishment of the city of Rome by Mulus, Rome entered the era of kingship, which was about 753 BC, and then Rome embarked on the road of expansion, and in 509 BC, with the overthrow of the last king of the Etruscan dynasty, Tarquin the Younger, by the Senate, Rome officially entered the republican era.

Of course, it was not all smooth sailing, Rome was also isolated by its neighbors, but after three Macedonian wars, Rome took control of all of Greece, and then the Syrian war gave it control of Western Asia, and then Caesar came to power, and after overriding his political enemies and two allies, he became the de facto emperor, but was later assassinated.

Then his adopted son Octavian came into the scene, and after taking out his political enemies and two allies (yes, you read that right, the pattern was the same), he established the Führer politics, and Rome officially entered the imperial era.

And by the Antonine Dynasty, the Roman Empire also entered its heyday, and five Ming monarchs were ushered in in a row, that is, the five people that Zhang Heng heard in the background introduction before, they were also called the Five Sage Emperors, especially the period from Nevar to the reign of Antonine, also known as the golden age of Rome.

Rome was strong, politically stable, vast and prosperous.

But by the time Aurelius arrived, Rome had actually begun to decline, with barbarian invasions, frequent border wars, and a plague that swept the country, combined with a decrease in population, a decline in taxes, and an increase in military spending.

Fortunately, Rome still had the emperor Aurelius, the emperor of the part-time philosopher, who was very diligent all his life, dealing with the nobles of the Senate, fighting in the north and south, fighting against the barbarians and fighting civil wars to quell the rebellion, even so, he still found time to write such a philosophical masterpiece as "Meditations".

But with Aurelius' death, the Roman Empire did go from prosperity to decline, and his son Commodus was the last emperor of the Antonine dynasty, and the rest of Rome is another story.

Zhang Hengzhi speculated that the time in which he lived should be at the end of the second century AD.

At this time, Rome had begun to flourish and decline, and the empire would have fallen into a long period of civil strife after Commodus's death, but for now, one-fifth of the world's population is still under the rule of the Roman Empire, with a territory spanning thousands of miles, a veritable empire.

In fact, Zhang Heng was quite interested in this trip to Rome, after all, ancient Roman civilization, as an important source of Western civilization, had an impact on later generations in all aspects, and unfortunately the vast majority of descendants can only learn about it from films, television and literary works.

However, Zhang Heng had the opportunity to personally travel through this dungeon to this ancient and huge empire, of course, this main quest also reminded him from the side, telling him that this trip to Rome would probably not be too easy.

So far, he has received a total of two survival tasks, a novice copy of survival on a desert island, and the other is a copy of the Soviet-Finnish war, survival tasks are simple and simple, even if you don't do anything, as long as you live until the end of the copy, but it is troublesome to say, because it often means that it is not easy to just live.
