===Fragments and other sources=== [[File:Franks Casket the left panel.jpg|thumb|320px|Panel of the 8th-century [[Anglo-Saxon art|Anglo-Saxon]] [[Franks Casket]]]] *''Annals'' by [[Ennius]] is lost, but fragments remain in later histories. *''Roman History'' by [[Appian]], in Book I "Concerning the Kings", is a fragment containing an account of the twins' parentage and origins. *''[[The City of God]]'' by [[Augustine of Hippo|Saint Augustine]] claims, in passing, that Remus was alive after the city's founding. Both he and Romulus established the Roman Asylum after the traditional accounts claimed that he had died.<ref>{{cite book|author=Saint Augustine|access-date=24 November 2016|title=The City of God Against the Pagans|volume=1|page=137|url=https://www.loebclassics.com/view/augustine-city_god_pagans/1957/pb_LCL411.137.xml?mainRsKey=Aro2od&result=1&rskey=bxRC3b|doi=10.4159/DLCL.augustine-city_god_pagans.1957|year=1957|isbn=9780674994522}} {{Subscription required|via=[[Loeb Classical Library|digital Loeb Classical Library]]}}</ref> *''[[Bibliotheca historica]]'' by [[Diodorus Siculus]], is a [[Universal history (genre)|universal history]], which survives mostly intact in fragments and has a complete recounting of the twins' origins, their youth in the shepherd community, and the contest of the augury and fratricide. In this version, Remus sees no birds at all and he is later killed by Celer, Romulus' worker. *''[[Origines]]'' by [[Cato the Elder]], fragments of which survive in the work of later historians, is cited by Dionysius. *Roman poet [[Juvenal]] calls them ''geminos Quirinos'', an allusion to [[Quirinus]].<ref>Leeming, David.''From Olympus to Camelot: The World of European Mythology''.
