摘　　要：罗马起源传说形成于公元前5世纪—前3世纪,其思想渊源可追溯到史前的图腾崇拜、圣火崇拜等原始信仰。罗马古代聚落神话和建城传说的某些内容很可能并非凭空虚构,其中隐含着人们对史前社会演进的历史记忆。本地的和在希腊人中流传的罗马起源传说各不相同,平行发展;很可能由于罗马从奉埃涅阿斯为祖先的拉维尼乌姆城引进双子邦神崇拜(Penates,Dioscuri)为契机,衍生出埃涅阿斯的后代罗穆路斯和雷穆斯兄弟创建罗马的传说,从而使两种罗马起源传说系统实现了整合。The legends of Roman foundation can trace its root deep in the totem,the cult of vesta,and other primitive believes.The ancient myths of pre-Roman villages and the foundation legends may not be pure illusion but convey some historical memories of social evolution.The legends of Roman foundation began to form in the period from the fifth to the third centuries B.C.During that time,the local legends ran parallel to the Greek legends and finally integrated.As a result,the imaginary twin-founders,Romulus and Remus,who were probably developed from the two-patron gods of Lavinium Penates and Dioscuri,found their position in the Greek myths as the descendants of the Trojan hero Aeneas,who was regarded as the founder of Lavinium.
