Re: Accalia - meaning confusion
Romulus and his brother were abandoned by a river as infant's because their parents couldn't afford them. A female wolf found them and carried them to her den. She suckeled them from her and raised them as wolf Cubs. The female wolf's name is Accalia.
In Romes founding stories romulus is very important hence the name rome. Accalia does mean she wolf in Latin but a very specific she wolf.
Before rome was rome the area was a dangerous place filled with pirates/ raiders / and outlaws band together in small tribes. Its very likely that Accalia was a cieftaness whose banner was a wolf.
Romulus United the tribes into one.
