Romulus-Quirinus

ロムルス＝クィリヌス

Lancer's True Name is Romulus-Quirinus the deified form of Romulus post-mortem as Quirinus in Roman mythology. Roma at its very core is Romance Passing through the Age of Gods, how one man became able to love another, and humanity; Roma fully encompasses and symbolizes all of these. Born to the god of war Mars and Princess Silvia, growing up with a beast as a friend, and eventually laying the foundations for the great Roman Empire. The manifestation before us is the figure of the young Romulus who founded Roma and later came to be deified as Quirinus who was a part of the triad of supreme Roman gods. As an existence that was deified, the manifestation heavily symbolizes the history of expansion and growth of civilization during Ancient Roma and the vicious, violent events it entailed. In the same way the Heroic Spirit with an identical name displays the continued governance of a ruler and prosperity, the Romulus we see is an existence that displays humanity’s potential to leave the Age of Gods behind.
