Remus, The brother of Romulus by whome he was put to death, fo that in scorne he leaped oner the walles of % newe builded citie: And so began Rome with bloudshed & heynous nuirder by him committed, that was the first Founder of the citie. After the death of Remus, the citie was (in punishment therof) sore veced with a grcenous plague: and Apollo being asked how it might be stayde, did giue annswere, that the ghost of Remus must by some solemne cere, monie be pacified. Wherefore Romulas deuised, that, whÊsoener he did sit in royall Throne to make any lawe or ordinaunce, there should be set by him an other chayre of estare, with a Scepter, Oiademe, and other coyall ensignes in it, that his brother being deade, mighte seeme in a sorte to reigne with him, whome being aliue bee woulde not abide to bee partaker of his kingdome: and so with a shadow would seeme to satisfie that, which in deede hee coulde not suffer.
