Romulus- and Even Remus

The Roman Empire tricked us. How is it fallen? Maybe the other Italian city-states fell. Rome
didn't. Vatican City always does well.
Rome, initially pagan, co-opted Christ's message, spread it far and wide to the far corners of the
known earth, then later to newly found parts of the earth. At that point, Rome proceeded to do what it had been doing all along- collecting treasure from every locale it touched- but rather than do it in Caesar's name, they've been doing it in Christ's name.
Presently, Rome is still doing this collecting.
Even now, Rome is rich. Rome is opulently rich. If people in Italy face austerity; then they are not
specifically Roman.
Some historians say Remus founded the city of  Rheims. That's champagne country. How bad can it get there?
Seems to me the twins still rule.
