Babylon and Nineveh was gis- covered among the 296 so-called, "Amarna stone letters" which were found in Bgypt. They tell of the relations between the Babylonian king, Burnaburiash, and the two Pharaohs, Amen-Hotep III, and Amen-Hotep IV., who lived around 1400 B.C, Other clay leters reveal various Phases of life in the two capitals or Assyria and Babylonia. We learn, for instance, that bad tidings are anmounced when an Assyrian writes to his sovereign, King Ashurbanipal, of Nineveh, in the following man- ner: "To the king, my master, from your servant, Babua: May the Gods Nebo and Merodach have mercy up- on the king, my master!" Stealing Wives, In semi-historic times, during which Romulus, the legendary found- er, the first king of Rome, is said to have traced out the form of his city with a plough, the stronger took from the weaker whatever tempt- ed his ambition or seemed good in his eyes. And eo one reads of Romulus, the half-civilized chieftain, living in a mud hovel covered with thatch in the midst of a few families of the old Trojan race, supplying himself and the younger men, out- laws and runawess who had joined him, with wives by the simple exped- ient of inviting a neighboring tribe to a feast, and then carrying om their inaidens. .
