Grotto Linked to Rome's Mythical Founder

Tuesday archaeologists unveiled an underground grotto believed to have been revered by ancient Romans as the place where a wolf nursed the city's legendary founder Romulus and his twin brother Remus. That sounds interesting. Do you think there could be anything to it? The vaulted sanctuary, decorated with seashells and colored marble, is buried 52 feet inside the Palatine hill, the palatial center of power in imperial Rome. This is like reading a myth from Greek mythology.
