Romulus is the author, now considered a legendary figure,[1] of versions of Aesop's Fables in Latin.
These were passed down in Western Europe, and became important school texts, for early education.
[2] Scholars identify several strands of manuscripts:[3] These prose works gave rise to versifications: the Novus Aesopus of Alexander Neckam, the verse Romulus often attributed to Gualterus Anglicus (Romulus of Nevelet).
Further adaptation and expansion from those works built up the medieval Aesop tradition.
The Esope of Adémar de Chabannes (67 fables) is now considered to derive from the Romulus Ordinarius.
