Here, according to the legend, Romolo and Remo had been looked after by a she-wolf in a cave and right here the Eternal City had its birth by Romolo in April 21, 753 a. C. The Palatine is therefore the cradle of Rome and of its most ancient religious and cultural traditions. The goddess "Pales", whose name evidently derives from the root of "Palatium" and whose feast, the "Palilia" coincided, not by chance, with the day of the city’s founding.
