Description acceptable. In Parallel Lives, Plutarch contrasts the severity of this event to Theseus’s treatment of his son, noting that Theseus’s actions “ended only in words.” Ovid's Fasti places responsibility of this event on the foreman Celer (“keller”). Plutarch's telling of this event notes that Pleistinus and his brother Faustulus suffered the same fate as this event's central figure. Ovid claims this event is the origin of the Lemuria festival, where ghosts are exorcised. This event may have occurred in response to its victim (*) jumping over a furrow dug in the city he was helping plan out. This event was the culmination of a dispute over the number of birds witnessed in an augury contest. For 10 points, name this event that occurred as a result of insults from a twin brother, legendarily perpetrated by Romulus. ■END■
