Numa – The second king of Rome. A book was discovered. It wasn’t written by Numa, but the Romans said it was. It was very philosophical. The Roman senate ordered that it should be burned. It was! But most Italians can recite by heart all the indiscriminate teachings it contained. The big polemic came from Cicero. He didn’t want Roman philosophy to have a start other than in Rome, so he denied the school of Crotone and much more any Etrurian influence via Numa. Still… Numa Pompilio Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.
