F. L'Homond is a collection of Latin literary texts aimed at beginner Latin students, likely compiled in the late 18th century. This educational work examines the early history of Rome through simplified texts taken from classical authors, particularly focusing on notable figures such as Romulus and Numa. The book serves as an introduction to Latin literature while providing a narrative context that engages young learners in the stories of Rome's founders. The opening of this compilation begins with the tale of Proca, the king of Alba Longa, who bequeaths his kingdom to his elder son Numitor while Amulius, the younger brother, usurps the throne. To eliminate Numitor's line, he forces Rhea Silvia, Numitor's daughter, into priesthood, leading to the birth of twins Romulus and Remus. After being abandoned, the twins are raised by a she-wolf and later become heroic figures who fight against the thieves who capture Remus. The narrative sets up the iconic founding of Rome, stemming from their rivalry and the eventual ascent of Romulus. This rich storytelling not only presents foundational events in Roman mythology but simultaneously serves educational purposes for students aiming to learn Latin through literature.
