Editing Romulus and Remus (section)

===''Origo Gentis Romanae'' (unknown)===
This work contains a variety of versions of the story. In one, there is a reference to a [[woodpecker]] bringing the boys food during the time they were abandoned in the wild. In one account of the conflict with Amulius, the capture of Remus is not mentioned. Instead, Romulus, upon being told of his true identity and the crimes suffered by him and his family at the hands of the Alban king, simply decided to avenge them. He took his supporters directly to the city and killed Amulius, afterwards restoring his grandfather to the throne.<ref>''Origo Gentis Romanae'' XXI</ref>
