What's the matter?
(narrator) 20 years later, in the year 753 BC. Chr.,
should be on the occasion of the festival of the Luperkalien
a wedding will take place.
Amulius, tyrant of Alba Longa, wanted his ward Curtius
to marry Julia, the daughter of the mighty Sabine king Tatius.
I am amazed that so many are there.
Today we celebrate Pants, the god of all fruits.
Look there, that sweet fruit. Isn't it lovely?
Yes.
But don't forget why we're here.
You refuse to sacrifice? Don't you want a rich harvest?
But I can't harvest anything, I have no soil.
Then give your animals. No, no.
Give them to God. It will bring you blessings.
Yes, the blessing of King Amulius. No, leave them to me.
Let's go, my sons, the festival begins.
What should I do? Without her I will starve.
Do not despair. The gods will help you.
Just look who goes there,
priestess Rhea Silvia. - Rhea Silvia?
Yes, she is a vestal virgin and watches in the Temple of Mars.
See, King Amulius.
To honor you, God Pants, we have gathered here.
Graciously accept our offerings.
Now make the sacrifice.
To me! Here!
Is it true that the people flagellated themselves with the skin of the sacrificial animals?
Yes, they believe it brings them blessings.
And happiness in love.
Here, to me!
They are possessed. The blood makes them frenzy.
No.
Why do you want to leave? DO you despise the blessing of the god Pants?
Leave them if you love your life.
When I saw you, I knew that you are just as strange here as I am.
That's why I dared to protect you from the mad,
to save you a drama,
which is unworthy of your beautiful eyes.
My name is Romulus. And you? What do you think of touching me?
Are you going to beat me up?
Bring my brother back to his senses.
He's been without mind since he saw you.
Remus is right.
Julia, I've finally found you.
Why did you run away?
Or did someone dare offend you?
No. The two shepherds helped me
to escape the hustle and bustle in the cave.
You don't need to worry, Curtius.
Go away, you are disturbing your mistress.
You filthy bitch dare ... Be sensible, Curtius.
Whatever you want.
If you were only half as brave as you are rude,
would you have reported for the fire ride.
Don't worry, I'll be there.
Who is that girl?
Julia, the daughter of Tatius, the Sabine king.
A king's daughter, that's what I thought.
You almost spoiled everything.
On the contrary, now it works better.
I'll take part in the ride. So I deceive the guards, you act.
You are right. But we must not lose any more time.
That's true, let's go.
Remus?
Why did you follow us, Tarpeia?
I didn't mean to wait. This is where I can be useful.
We don't want women. Give it up, Remus.
We pretend that she is a man and act accordingly.
Everything is prepared.
Will you forgive me if I ask you?
I don't like it when you defy my wishes.
I just disobeyed to be with you.
You shouldn't have done that.
What do you want here? Are you insane?
You know what happens to him who enters the tent of the goddess Vesta.
I owe the goddess that I found you.
I've been looking for you for years.
I brought your father's flock
in the year of the double moon to pasture.
You were young then, but you surely remember it.
2 of the jewelry pieces are missing. Am I right?
It was 20 years ago
that I found 2 children in a hiding place.
They were raised by a she-wolf.
They are wearing your missing jewelry.
Are you wearing them?
Are you still alive?
I made them believe they were my children.
You brought her here today.
One tall, with brown skin and eyes as blue as a lake.
Yes. Romulus is brown and has blue eyes.
How do you know?
He passed me. They were the same eyes as ...
How do you know if you've never seen him?
Whose eyes were they like?
To those of one God.
Hurry, get away.
I'll know how to find you.
The sacred fire is about to go out.
I watched it from my tent.
The flame must not go out.
That would bring us bad luck.
Why do you have so much cold in your eyes, Silvia?
There was a time when it wasn't like that.
When your father died. When you killed him.
He was a weakling who couldn't rule the country.
It's been over 20 years since then.
You have only dedicated yourself to the service of the goddess,
So as not to have to return my love.
And what did you achieve with it?
A woman is lonely.
A king too.
Forgive me, Amulius, the games cannot begin without your sign.
I wish you victory, shepherd! Great guys.
Curtius!
Hey, you!
What are you doing here?
I prefer talking to a warrior over competition.
Merciless with the enemy, but generous with beautiful women.
Really? I'll prove that to you.
What do you have?
Quick, quick, hurry up.
Bravo, Curtius!
I said it, the shepherd wins.
Maybe Curtius wasn't in the mood.
What's the victor's name? Romulus, son of a shepherd.
What's going on?
They steal our horses, Romulus and Remus.
Ah!
Julia!
Chase them. Don't let them escape!
I want to see them hanging!
They are coming! They are already very close!
They are here and bring the horses they are bringing the horses!
You did well!
Look, here comes Remus.
We did it again.
The fruit that Amulius stole is hanging on the trees again.
Where is Romulus? Far behind us.
He's carrying a load that is much too light for fast riding.
What do you mean?
That the Sabine woman interests him more than anything else.
I get it.
Did the gods have to confuse his mind?
The Sabine King will make our lives more difficult.
Remus, come on your father is wounded.
I beg you, release me again.
And if I did, you wouldn't find your way back.
We have to rest. The horse is suddenly paralyzed.
Don't try to escape. You wouldn't be able to.
Julia!
No, don't, leave me.
Stubborn, but that's what I like about you.
I'm coming to an end.
The poison with which the arrow was soaked works quickly.
Are you here, children? I can't see you anymore.
Where's Romulus?
I don't hear his voice.
He's sitting next to me, Father. we're both here.
You mustn't mourn me.
This is not my business because I kept the truth from you.
What did you say, father?
Father?
It was the proud sound of the word Father
who led me to falsehood.
But now I have to tell you.
I really am not your father.
I'm just a poor shepherd who found you in a she-wolf's den.
We'll stay here until the rain stops.
Fear not, nothing happens.
It was probably not enough that you stole the horses.
You are more valuable than the horses.
I certainly would not have kidnapped you,
wouldn't you bring that much ransom.
Your father is a king. Even Amulius pays him tribute.
But this time he'll have to pay himself.
Take off your clothes and dry yourself off SO you don't catch a cold.
The Lord of Alba Longa
and the Sabine King hardly differ.
Like me, you live on robbery.
The only difference is they wear a crown.
Would you like it?
I don't want what isn't mine.
The wine would warm you up.
Do you think it is fair to act like that?
This cabin belongs to a friend, Numa.
I didn't mean the wine.
There are many ways to live. Mine is not the worst.
From robbery?
We were originally shepherds,
poor people who even had no blankets at night.
Who were so peaceable that they kissed the hand,
which she plundered.
But that has changed.
We are now starving, taking back what was stolen.
And sacrificing human life in the process.
Before they starve.
Why didn't you try to find work in Alba Longa?
Yes, you are right.
But our love for our homeland prevents us from doing so,
to the huts in which we were born,
to the hills, the rivers and the valleys.
We want to be free.
You don't need to live the life of a bandit for that.
One can also be free in a country with laws,
in which these must be followed.
Where is there a City where the old laws still apply?
Certainly not in Alba Longa.
It's no longer raining.
His white horse. Now I know where they are.
Wait here.
Tie the villain's arms and legs.
He's going to be quartered! No, Curtius.
You are here just as much a stranger as me.
You have to hand him over to Amulius, who will give the verdict.
This is the second time you contradict me and stand up for him.
I'm punishing him instead of your father.
You don't have the right to do that.
The union of my people and King Amulius
should remain undimmed.
Flee, Numa! Call Remus for help! After them! He must not escape!
Ouch!
Flee, Numa!
Remus.
One God.
I am the son of a god and Rhea Silvias.
Faustulus wasn't my father. It's incomprehensible.
Even as a child I felt that I was not like the others,
that my blood is different.
Alba Longa is mine. Amulius stole it from me.
I am the rightful king.
I will kill Amulius and make sure
that Alba Longa becomes the largest city in the world.
Greater than Thebes, Greater than Nineveh.
If only I had enough brave warriors
and not this band of shepherds.
Sulpitius and Acilius maybe, but the others ...
Remus!
Remus,
Romulus is in my hut.
He was captured by the men of Amulius under the command of Curtius.
I thought so. How could that happen?
He defended himself valiantly, could not fight back.
He's putting us in danger. They compel him to betray our hiding place.
Because of this woman. Romulus won't betray us.
Servius is right. We are no longer safe here.
We have to go.
Into the woods. Let's share the spoil.
Shut up!
We shall neither flee nor divide the booty among us.
Romulus is my brother. We are going to free Alba Longa.
I feel that our hour has come.
Do you want to conquer with people without weapons who do not know the war?
We take weapons from the enemy. You cannot use them.
Then they will learn how to use them.
You have no right to command us.
According to the law, there is no leader here.
As of today you have a leader. You are talking to him.
Then prove that you are the stronger, surrender!
For the last time I'll spare someone who opposes me.
Does anyone else dare to refuse allegiance to me?
Whoever has joined us, I'm not asking about the past.
I'm just asking him
whether he will help me fight the tyranny of the false king.
We want to live together as one people,
not as a band of robbers who only know lawlessness and lawlessness.
Follow me. We're going to build a city.
You will become rich and powerful, dwell in houses.
Why are you the warriors of Amulius so terrified?
Because they have weapons and armor made of bronze.
We'll get those too. Then we'll conquer Alba Longa.
I am ready to give blood and life to this.
We just have to all believe in the victory of our cause.
Are you with me?
Well, you sheep thief, are you finally going to talk?
Where are your people? I'm giving you life.
Where are the bandits who reviled and robbed me?
If you love your life, finally stop being silent.
My patience has run out.
I'll get you to speak.
In a few days the Sabines will unite with my combat groups.
Then you succumb. But you will die first.
Finally speak! Or you regret that you kept silent.
Wait until tomorrow, then you can go out.
I hate everyone who lives here.
These terrible people and their cruel customs.
If I had never known this town ...
I feel like I live here as a prisoner.
How I'd like to be back with my father.
But it's too late to escape. It wouldn't do me any more.
When we arrived in Alba Longa, you spoke very differently.
Has the shepherd changed his mind? Be silent, Estias, be silent.
Julia, Amulius wants to entertain the people with a play.
The shepherd will be easy prey for the bear.
You have recognized Amulius' power. He wants to reward you for this.
Courtesy is mutual.
Do you know that your father will be here soon?
My father?
Yes. The guards have reported that it is approaching.
I'm sure he's coming to speed up our marriage.
Amulius has no children. He makes me his heir.
I made myself popular with him. That's the success.
Yes.
Do you think your father would approve of our marriage,
if he didn't know that I am Amulius' heir?
I don't know my father's reasons.
But I know I don't love you, Curtius.
I wasn't expecting it either. You won't disappoint me, Julia.
When everything is completed according to the will of the gods,
you will love me whether you like it or not.
Don't be so excited. It will all be over soon.
Attention, I'm throwing.
Hurry up. Go up as fast as you can, go ahead.
I'll show you the strength with which I wield the sword.
This is how the bear will tear the bandit to pieces.
Amulius loves acting.
If Romulus Kills the bear ... We will end his life.
Stimulate the animal with the lance! Let it tear it apart!
Please, Lord, save him. Spare Romulus.
The gods asked for it.
The life of a son of a god You must not destroy.
She's gone mad. Take her away.
The condemned dies! I command it!
I warn you, Amulius, you killed my father.
Do not stain yourself with the death of my son!
Because it was the wish of the gods, I have won!
Listen to the gods!
Archers in the arena!
I beg you, spare my son! Give him life!
Ah!
I'll Kill you.
Put an end to the carnage! Stop the bloodshed!
He's right!
Shoot him down!
Remus!
No.
No!
Ah!
I can feel the heart beating.
We must save ourselves. The city is on fire.
Let's try to escape. We'll meet your father on the hills.
Then we will destroy the bandits.
Leave me alone.
You are mine. Your father promised me you would be mine.
Let her go!
No, no!
You dog!
Servius, Servius.
Ah!
Mother.
Please, mother, speak.
Through our fault the city was destroyed.
But we're going to rebuild it.
No.
Not here.
All the blood that has flowed here would only bring bad luck.
I see them in front of me.
It will be called the Eternal City.
It will arise beyond the swamps.
It will be north of Fire Mountain.
7 hills will enclose them.
Never leave one another, always be united.
Today and all the time.
Mother.
Just take food with you, nothing more, leave town!
Come with me.
Mom, mom!
Get on your horses, save yourselves! Load the wagons!
Follow me!
Julia.
I don't want to hold you.
Our path is difficult. Your father will follow us.
I .o
I'm not leaving you.
King Tatius! Alba Longa is on fire!
And your daughter is captured by the rebels.
The sun has set five times,
since Julia was snatched from me by the rebel leader.
They have a big head start.
The residents of Alba Longa followed them.
Look at how I look. I fought till the end.
That costs them dearly, these bandits.
I will pursue them until I destroy them.
Because they destroyed the city and insulted me too.
Nobody should survive! Nobody must remember this day!
Follow me!
What a mess.
Stop, wait for me!
Driver driver!
Sira!
Sira! Sira, come to me.
More over to me! This is the way the path leads!
Goodbye, Sira!
You think it's a trip. Ride back to your seat.
Hurry up!
You mustn't hunt them like that. They have been without rest for days.
You are way too soft-hearted.
He who commands must not know compassion, must be tough.
Stop the wagons, unhitch the horses!
We want to rest until sunset!
Thank you, Romulus. The horses need water.
Don't forget to tie up the horses.
We found them. They're resting over in the valley.
Your orders, King Tatius?
We'll surround them. No one is allowed to escape.
Be economical with the wine. We don't have much left.
Take a rest, our way is long.
Don't you regret it already?
Just because the car isn't as comfortable as my litter?
Romulus, I'm worried about the swamp.
Nobody has been able to cross it yet.
I know. But I believe in my mother's prophecy.
North of the swamp and the great mountain of fire
there is a beautiful valley surrounded by 7 hills,
shared by a river.
This is where we will move to found the Eternal City.
Flocks of birds screeched up into the sky.
It is possible that they were scared off by a predator.
But it may also have been a band of horsemen.
Remus, did you hear that? Yes.
The Sabines?
It is possible. I'll explore. You take command.
Let me go. It is better if you stay.
Am I not being too soft-hearted?
All right. But be careful and be back soon.
Run, show what you can do.
If my father attacks I'll endanger you even more.
Maybe yes, maybe not.
Why not?
You are much too valuable to us as a hostage
Otherwise you wouldn't be alive anymore.
You'd drown me in the swamp.
And you despise Romulus because he has a heart.
You are only outwardly similar, not in essence.
What's wrong with you, Remus? Why are you so different?
I don't know. I am what I am.
We were already completely different as children.
When we found reeds, he would make a flute, I would make a sword.
I dreamed of honor and fame, he asked the gods for happiness and love.
Maybe he's right. women don't like warriors.
Women always see in a man only the man, no matter what position.
Remus?
Sulpitius and the others want to cook food in the fire.
No, not now. When Romulus is back, we move on.
- Mistress, is it really true that your father is persecuting us?
Yes. I'm afraid. When he attacks us, he knows no mercy.
Why don't you run away to him? He would definitely understand you.
It's too late for that, Estias.
Not the horses, but fate pulls our wagons.
These are her tracks.
Did you discover something?
Here are the tracks from many wagons and hooves.
Now I know where you are going.
Look here.
This is the plane we are in now.
Over there is the swamp we have to go to.
And beyond that is the sacred mountain which breathes fire.
So are we going to turn back?
Up until now nobody has dared to cross this limit.
There must be no obstacle.
Don't, Tatius, you mustn't tempt the gods.
The earth there devours everyone.
Stay here. The bandits find the end they deserve.
What about my daughter?
I know that you are suffering because of her.
Same suffering hits me. I love Julia.
She should have been my wife by now.
And you should be my father.
But I bow to the cruel fate and endure it patiently.
I've never been able to do that. I'm too old to learn.
Get up, we ride on! Come over.
Do you hear?
This is the direction they're coming from.
There must be many. You are not far, come on.
Go.
The traces are lost in the water.
Then there is no point in looking any further. We can no longer find them.
The Sabines.
It's high time that we warned the others.
Attention! Romulus!
Ah!
Ouch!
Shoot, they can't escape.
Ah!
Unlucky Romulus.
We have to go, otherwise there will be more.
Without your help I would be dead, Numa.
Sira, don't thank me, that was taken for granted.
Wouldn't it have been better if I would have been crushed by the car?
I don't think that we will ever achieve our goal.
Don't doubt. We'll be there soon and start a City.
Do you believe in it? Yes, it doesn't work without faith.
We have to believe. That gives meaning to life.
Death makes sense too.
We will be one people, live in a community.
Give me this, Estias, you can't do this without a knife.
Don't worry, Tarpeia,
he will have little success with the blond Sabine woman.
Julia voted long ago.
Julia, tell me when you leave camp.
Danger can lurk anywhere.
Let go of me. You are the only one who threatens me.
Leave me alone! You're a thief, that's all!
Because I want a kiss from you?
I could take a lot more from you, if I wanted to,
and make you disappear.
If Romulus were here, you wouldn't be talking like that.
My brother? Yes, he.
I don't want to see you anymore.
Surrender to one of those ridiculous Sabines.
He can have you for a ransom if I don't kill him first.
Remus!
Oh, Remus, since we left Alba Longa you've been silent.
You avoid me. It's the fault of the damn Sabine woman!
Shut up! I'm sick of hearing nonsense.
Why are you denying it? You brothers run after her like lap dogs!
Hurry up, Remus. The forest is full of Sabines.
We have to leave.
Raise the alarm. Everybody on your horses!
Harness the horses to the wagons and go!
Hurry up! Forward! Come on!
Don't you want to get in your car?
There they are!
That was the signal from Plestinus. They found the bandits.
They want to go through the gorge.
But Plestinus will block their way.
Prepare to attack.
Why the attack? Our vanguard has overtaken the fleeing people.
They will try to escape over the Fire Mountain.
There the survivors will be taken down by the vanguard.
They are definitely lost, Tatius.
Why are you putting us in danger? To wait would be wise.
You are not guided by wisdom, Curtius, but by fear.
I'll show the world how the King of the Sabines punishes rebels.
It's not just about my daughter. There's a lot more at stake.
Either the king or the rebels,
that's the way it should be.
Push the cars!
Forward! Come on!
Set the reins, drive the horses!
Romulus, Remus, look there, a bridge!
It's too narrow for our cars.
It doesn't help, we have to leave them where they are.
Empty all the cars! Go on on foot, quick!
Everyone run across the bridge! We can't waste any time!
Julia, run as fast as you can.
Faster, the Sabines are on our heels!
They weren't that close yet.
Let's attack them here. They'd beat us.
I have an idea.
What do you suggest? Come on.
Say what the gods command.
The blood won't clot.
We won't wait any longer, Plestinus. You know, I don't care.
Whether the gods are for or against it, we move on.
Mount up!
All march!
Attention, Romulus, the Sabines are attacking!
We're ready.
We'll wait until they're close enough.
Attack!
Ah!
They're trapped.
But those over there are gathering to attack.
You weren't expecting that. - Let's back off.
Hurry up, quick, across the bridge.
No.
He sacrificed himself.
That won't be enough. We have to back off.
One day we shall meet again, my friend.
Your warriors are preparing to fight again.
Hopefully you have realized that you are not invincible.
100 of the best men have fallen, with them Plestinus.
He was the most loyal of all.
The price is too high for some old, broken cars.
How long have you been paying attention to the price,
when it comes to conquering something that you would like to have?
Or that you don't want to lose?
You heard too
of what mysterious origin the brothers are.
Don't you want to give up the pointless fight?
Just a legend that arose after the arrival of the Trojan Aeneas.
The gods will condemn them. Since when have you believed in gods?
Ever since you noticed that they are completely superior to you.
Guard your naughty tongue, Curtius.
We must prevent the story from spreading around the camp
and our people's morale is suffering.
And you will continue the fight without getting drunk.
I'll keep running the company because I have nothing to lose.
Nothing more.
I even lack the courage to escape from here.
Yes, I'm a coward. You know this and take advantage of it.
You are only giving me your daughter to strengthen your power.
Do you want me to tell you something?
Your daughter loves you just as little as her mother loved you.
And who was Juliet's mother?
A slave you violated.
What has passed is over, Curtius.
You must never forget that.
You are my subordinate.
Each of us does our duty, as victor or vanquished.
And you, Curtius, do it as vanquished.
It is time to face the facts.
Many of us, the shepherds of Umbria,
the farmers and some of our people, especially the elderly,
lose heart because they no longer believe the prophecy.
What should happen? - We obey the will of the gods.
We cannot continue running into the unknown.
Publius' sacrificial death and the success of your cunning saved us.
But tomorrow too?
Stop whining at last.
Everyone knew when we left Alba Longa,
that our fate is uncertain.
We must flee the Sabines, in order to build the fortification there,
where we will build the eternal city.
I know you honestly mean what you say, Romulus.
But if the Sabine spears don't destroy us,
it will be hunger and fever.
- I've had enough of your chatter!
You have to believe in the future!
By the light of the fire I swear to you
we'll make it if you're ready to make sacrifices!
Do you want to live as free people or as slaves?
Are you brave men or cowards?
- As our leader, you mustn't speak to us like that, Remus.
It is the wish of all of us to found a city.
What kind of city is this going to be when nobody is alive?
Do you want a city without people?
You are our leader, that's true.
Let it stay that way. But you're too unreasonable.
Your ambition is limitless. - Shut up, old owl!
What are you thinking of, Remus?
I know what to do. Don't interfere, Romulus.
I am your leader. Because you made yourself to be one.
It was our mother's wish,
that we help each other and found the city together.
The gods decided otherwise. I can prove It to you!
There is No point in challenging me.
I'll never fight you.
Let the gods tell who is our leader.
It would be outrageous to anticipate your wise decision.
At sunrise before we leave,
you will count the vultures in the sky.
You will be standing 5 arrows apart.
Whoever sees more vultures in the sky, the gods will elect him to be king.
Yes, that's the way it should be.
Romulus, you mustn't blame him.
Maybe he's just irritated because he's overtired.
We all feel the same way.
But if we just argue, our business will fail.
You'd better forget about it. Now you have to rest.
I have never known anyone who has so much understanding for me.
4 black stones, 8 white ones. The gods have decided.
Romulus is our king!
May the gods protect you! - Live high!
I submit to the will of the gods, brother.
But you will rule by my side.
I don't want aims!
Everyone appreciates your generosity. I gladly do without it.
I will not bow to the decision.
Nothing will stop me from closing the company.
Not the flight of a few birds,
but the swords decide, if you have the courage!
Don't offend the gods.
The gods have decided.
I said yesterday: I'm not fighting with you.
Because you're a coward.
Don't!
Don't, Romulus. He is your brother.
You do not recognize the judgment of the gods,
after you were ready to consult them.
You have forfeited the right to be our leader.
It's good, I understand.
Don't you think of what I did for you?
I saved your life. You too, Goddar.
Now you are abandoning me.
I'm following you, but I'm not fighting against your brother.
Me too.
So, Romulus, our ways part.
You can go where you want. Each of you can move with him.
I also think we should split up.
This is how we confuse the Sabines.
Whoever arrives first shall pull the furrow,
which is the border of the city that houses us all.
- Romulus, never forget fate is with the stronger.
I will miss you very much.
Don't worry, I'll see you again soon.
Take care, Romulus. Goodbye.
Don't blame me for following your brother.
He saved my life.
Farewell, Acilius. We will meet again in the valley of the 7 hills.
Let the gods protect you.
Don't worry about Remus, I'll take care of him.
Thank you, Acilius.
Don't cry, Estias. We're not parting forever.
I'll see you again soon.
I can't leave Acilius because we love each other.
If you love him, you must be by his side.
Farewell Julia. Farewell Acilius.
Watch out for them.
May the gods protect you.
Come on, Estias.
You too, Tarpeia, I wish you luck.
Spare yourself your words, Sabinerin. You haven't won yet.
Nobody knows what the day will bring.
That's true. Nobody sees the demands of the future.
But something gives us the strength to overcome everything, love.
Or the hate. I hate no one more than you.
You stole my friendship from me.
Do not believe that you have the protection of the gods.
Leave her alone. Be honest about what this is about.
You are jealous.
The last word is not spoken.
Be careful when we meet again.
I will experience this day with my husband, that will be enough for me.
Could you say the same about yourself, Tarpeia?
Then you'd know what love is.
There are many kinds of love. But you will hardly understand that.
Take this knife.
If Romulus dies, don't be cowardly to turn it against you.
Leave her alone. Go to the others during this time.
She's one of the women you need for such endeavors.
The others ...
Those who are like me, you have only contempt for them.
I don't despise you.
Even if it's your fault that I break up with my brother.
I thought there were other reasons.
The main reason is that I envy my brother.
He got luckier and better.
Again, luck will be on his side.
But the die has not finally been cast.
I can still force fate.
How can you go with Remus? You have to cross the mountains.
- The way is shorter, and more dangerous.
- The gods of the underworld live on the mountain.
Remus shouldn't demand it. He's walking the path because he wanted to.
There is no point in looking back.
Forget her, Remus.
It's a long way, across the woods.
Why are you crying, Julia?
Because it's my fault for everything.
If you didn't know me, you would be next to your brother.
I separated you guys. Now I'm terrified for you.
It's not your fault.
We were born on the same day, under the same sign,
and yet we are completely different.
I never wanted to rule and would have shared everything with Remus.
But he didn't want it. He only knows one law: violence.
I beg you, Romulus,
Let me go, I'll talk to my father.
No, Julia, you mustn't go.
Because you belong to me now.
I do not know fate, but we shall bear it together.
Yes, Romulus. I promise.
Forward!
We don't have time!
Remus...
Now go!
I'll help you.
Run faster!
You dropped provisions. Pick it up.
Are you going to starve?
This way! Come!
We have to cross the top of the mountain!
We can't do it.
Come on! Don't stop now!
Remus, where are you?
- Remus! - Tarpeja!
Estia!
Tarpeja!
Hold me! Hold me tight!
Hold me!
Estia!
Remus!
No!
Oh Jove, Almighty Father.
You have the life and fate of people in your hands.
Spare his life, take mine for it. But spare his life.
Spare his life!
No, it's not true!
- Leave me! Leave me! - Have no fear, dearest! You live!
We are alive!
Wait, Curtius.
But she's part of this gang of thieves. I recognize her.
- You don't want to spare her, do you? - No.
But before she dies she has something to tell us.
Where are the others?
- Where is my daughter? - Talking already!
Speak!
In your own interest.
Why should I talk?
- What do you offer me in return? - A quick, painless death ...
for you and your companion.
Give us our lives and a horse - then I'll tell you everything.
You dare to propose a deal to me?
Your life is in my hand.
When I die, you will never find your daughter or your enemies.
Would you prefer to be tortured by us?
Try, Tatius.
Try It!
All right ...
I promise you that I will spare your two lives.
I give you my word of honor.
Your daughter is with the others - with Romulus.
She lives with the women of the caravan.
They took the path through the woods and circled the mountain ...
that watches over the valley of the seven hills.
We must attack them before they can build their defenses.
- Take the path through the woods. - You really let them both live?
I gave them my word.
I know a traitor like you doesn't deserve to live.
But we let the gods punish them.
And this man has already found his fate.
Like all of us.
Romulus! Julia! Look!
Oh Romulus, it's beautiful.
Praise the gods!
What's wrong with you, Romulus? You look unhappy.
I wish Remus was here with us.
What happened?
What ... what happened?
Where am I?
You have to keep calm, Remus. You lost a lot of blood.
Where are the others? Acilius? Godar?
We are the only survivors.
You have been swallowed up by the mountain. You have angered the gods.
But you and I are still alive.
Romulus is now lost too. The Sabines will destroy him ...
before he can set the first stone of the city that rightfully belongs to you.
- YOU are wrong. - NO.
Because I told the Sabines where they were going - in exchange for your life.
What did you say?
I had no other choice. Don't you understand?
They came when you were passed out, and I had to save your life at all costs!
We're all alone, but I will take care of you!
I'll save you!
You are insane!
Nobody should get my town!
I will be king even if I have to kill my brother.
- Remus, please! DO not go! Don't go! - I never give up! No way!
Listen to me, Remus. I'm begging you!
Think about the signs!
The answer of the vultures! The curse of the mountain of fire!
Remember those who died while following you!
When they followed your unreachable dream!
I beg you, Remus, don't follow him! I'm begging you! Listen to me:
Nobody can change their fate! Nobody! Nobody! Not even you!
Maybe the fate of others!
- Certainly not mine! - No! No Remus!
No, Remus! Don't leave me behind! No!
I beg you, Remus! Don't go away, Remus!
Remus!
No!
Keep your left arm straight, then aim.
So? Yes.
Hurry up with the water! The trenches must be filled!
Everything is done.
Well prepared, we can repel any attack.
The Sabines can come.
It is important, Romulus, that you pull the furrow
how the new city limits should be.
This is how you become king.
You were a wise leader.
On the hill we'd be away from the vital water,
too far away.
- I'm amazed, my son. You speak like a king.
He's young. It makes you feel like a king.
Keep the furrow, or do you want to wait for Remus?
It was his plan to go here. I'll wait for him to come.
I owe him
that I'm still alive
No, Romulus.
You're wrong.
Not, because he wanted to save your life,
Remus had attacked Alba Longa.
The words of the dying Faustulus stimulated his ambition.
He got an insatiable desire to gain power.
That's why he conquered the city. You were just an excuse.
Take this back!
If you kill me you won't change anything about it.
Romulus! The Sabines! - Where?
- They're coming by the hundreds over the hill.
They're going to attack us.
That's where they come from.
They have surrounded us. We have no choice.
To arms!
Romulus, there is no point they are far superior to us.
Let me go to the Sabine camp. I'll talk to my father.
This is pointless.
The Sabines want to destroy us in order to survive.
The hunt is over. You're trapped.
Everybody on their place.
We'll wait for the enemy to attack. Then we'll show who we are.
We will win.
It's up to us whether we can achieve a future
which gives us happiness and peace.
The villains secured the camp with trenches.
It's going to be difficult getting through the line of defense.
Don't worry about it, Curtius. What about mine?
It would have been easier for you to come to my throne
if the path had led through my daughter's bridal bed,
not across the battlefield.
I will not be insulted.
Then prove my wrong.
You have the honor of leading the attack.
Should I commit suicide, Tatius?
I refuse. Give the order to the generals.
In Sabinia the king makes all decisions, onward Curtius!
No, I don't want to die. Life is worth more to me.
I'd rather give up Julia and your throne.
There is nothing to lose you said yourself.
Ah!
Attack!
The moment has come. Now it will be decided.
All take cover, quick!
Now!
Ah!
The nets!
Ah!
Sulpitius!
- Ah!
You won. What are you waiting for Do you lack courage?
Stab me, put an end to me.
Don't, Romulus!
Father, I joined these people voluntarily.
I feared with them and hoped.
I did this because I love Romulus and I am going to marry him.
Here where the earth is consecrated by the blood of our brothers,
let's found our city for which we sacrificed so much.
Make up your mind.
Peace be with us and the city.
In the name of the immortal gods I call, Romulus,
make me king of the city!
The furrow should be its limit.
Those who cross it peacefully are welcome.
Whoever attacks our border will be destroyed.
That's the way it should be.
Long live Romulus!
My brother Remus.
Is the furrow the limit your or my town?
The city shall be yours and mine. I will never share with you.
Look here.
I have crossed the line of your City and destroyed it.
No!
You see what kind of weakling your King is?
He only knows fear, trembles with fear.
He is as vulnerable like his city.
Defend yourself or you will trample like a worm.
You didn't want it any other way.
He deserves to die.
Whoever breaks the law must die.
Romulus, the gods are with you!
Romulus, fight for your city.
Ah!
Remus, Remus.
It's not your fault. My brother, Remus.
Fate stands on the side of the stronger.
Nobody is allowed to rebel against fate.
No one shall dispute your kingship against you.
You will found the City.
She will be as powerful and beautiful as I dreamed it would be.
(Narrator) The legend ends here.
And the story begins of one of the greatest cities in the world,
the eternal city of Rome.
