Long before there was a Rome, two baby boys were left to die on the bank of the river Tiber. A she-wolf heard them crying. Instead of eating them, she fed them under a fig tree, while crows watched from the branches and boats drifted past on the river.
An old shepherd is peering through the reeds. Seven puzzles stand between you and the end of the story. Solve them all, and one last word names one of the twins.
Crossword — family, animals and the countryside, in Latin from Book 1.
Anagrams — unscramble seven things the twins and the wolf do.
Cipher — decode a message in Latin, then answer the riddle it asks.
Matching — two verbs, lacrimat ("cries") and servat ("saves"), in the present, imperfect and perfect.
Picture Count — reassemble the riverbank, then count what you see.
Odd One Out — find the word that doesn't belong in each row to build the story, then answer questions about it.
Final Rebus — one clue from every lock. Their first letters spell the final word.
Every answer box checks itself. Spelling and capitals are forgiving, and macrons are never needed.
Seventeen words from the riverbank. Every clue gives the English meaning; you supply the Latin. Fill the grid — every crossing letter must agree both ways. Seven cells are marked in red: once the grid is solved, their letters unscramble into one more word.
The grid is correct. Unscramble the seven red letters:
Seven things the twins and the wolf do. Unscramble each one.
