REMO E IL COLLE DEGLI AUSPICI (ENNIUS ANNALES 74 SK. = 79 VAHL.2).

This article discusses a line from Ennius' Annales describing the position from which Remus took the auspices at the founding of the city of Rome (74Sk.). It is unmetrical. This paper outlines the scholarly history of the problem and proposes an old conjecture for reconsideration that points to a mythological variant and some possible literary echoes.
