Double beefcake with the story of Romulus and Remus - the alleged founders and twin brothers of Roman legend who established the "eternal city" in folklore, Rome. Great casting with plenty of bulging biceps in Steve Reeves and Gordon Scott of Tarzan fame. Scott appears somewhat burdened and uneasy playing second fiddle to Reeves in this film as the overly zealous brother Remus who upon his father's dying bed (in this case a straw covered ledge!) is told he is the son of a god along with his brother (Reeves), but Scott keeps the secret until he is forced to tell his brother...........very begrudgingly. As the movie rolls on Reeves becomes more of a hero and Scott more of a villain as they part ways with their loyal bands in an attempt to try and reach Rome first and to escape from the posse of Roman soldiers who are attempting to recapture the general's daughter(the lovely Virna Lisi)......in the end a great "duel" with a knife wielding joust between Reeves and Scott, with Mr. Reeves laying down his brother with tears and proclaiming the founding of the eternal city, Rome.
