the coliseum/Rome and my vampires

Romulus and Remus were vampires. They were brothers when they were alive, and they were turned at the same time by the same person. The event of Remus being killed (more on the killing and the legend in general later) was the first act of a "vampire slaying."

Romulus and Remus were the first and second (known) vampires (Romulus is one of the ancients) ever created, and they, being young and pompous, decided that they wanted to have their own city. So Rome was created. Ever wondered why Rome really conquered all? Why they were the undefeatable city? Becuase it was created by a vampire!

After a while (aka, after Romulus realized that by now, according to the humans, he should be dead) Romulus pretended to die. He then lived on as a (hidden) centurion (he then created vampires from the best of his men, which is also where the "only male vampires" came from. More on centurion later) and later reclaimed his throne as Emperor Vespasian and created the Coliseum.
