Ancient Rome

MYTH & THE FOUNDING OF ROME
The Seven Hills of Rome
The Origins of Rome 
The Aeneid of Virgil - Caesar Augustus' attempt at the beginning of the Empire to link Roman might with a direct lineage to the Bronze Age Greeks and Greek Mythology.  That is why most Roman gods are the same except for name changes, such as Aphrodite = Venus.  Also, if Caesar could prove direct descendancy for the gods, therefore he should also be considered a god.
