    Rob I have seen those places in person but your perspective and history gives a whole new meaning to visiting and understanding the present and particularly the Rome of past.

    It makes the Brisbane origin story seem a little lacking in something. Great work Rob. I like how it turned out.

    Really enjoyed this video. What an interesting story. I’d never heard that before! I like that you didn’t just show the ‘famous landmarks’ but gave historical context to them as well. You got some great shots on your walk. How cool to bump into some Brisbane viewers over there too.

    Stepping outside of Brisbane. Good stuff. SPQR by Mary Beard is a good read and she gives some great insights into the myths of Romulus and Remus. Also, Adoremus is apparently Latin for "let us adore" or "let us worship".. Nothing to do with Remus of myth... Though you have to wonder if they are playing with words as the cave of Romulus and Remus is just meters away?

      No, kinda used to them by now. AI generated characters are sumptuous and unreal. Check out the AI generated Princes and Queens of nations for an overload of hyper-realistic images.

    Clearly a Hyena and not a wolf. Suggesting the story may came from Africa. Just my observation not some educated opinion.

    • @walkaboutwithrob
      @walkaboutwithrob  17 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      @Michael-sj6qm It's an interesting idea, but the identity of the animal has been known since antiquity. In all the earliest iterations of the legend in writing from centuries BC it has always been identified as a wolf. Etruscan art is also not always about creating absolutely life-like recreations of animals, rather the design is often stylised to reflect then-contemporary ideas of art of aesthetics, and also due to the limitations of bronze casting back then. I do think it would be peculiar for an Indigenous population of Europeans in central Italy nearly 3000 years ago to use a foreign animal, one they had never seen before, as their symbol, when wolves were plentiful and common within Italy and across Europe.

    I don;t believe that. Wolf would have eaten them even if they protested.
