Go into space, bring peace, and get drunk. Easy.

Well, according to ST:TNG Technical Guide it did list as Romulus being part of the Romulus-Remus stellar pair. Which I have passed it by until now with this story.

I was looking in the textbook of World History, and I saw the legend of Romulus and Remus.
According to Roman legend, a king ruled a small city near the Tiber River over 2,700 years ago. His younger brother overthrew him and drove away the rest of the royal family. Later the older brother's daughter gave birth to twin boys, Romulus and Remus. The new king was afraid these boys would try to claim the throne. He gave orders to throw the twins into the flooded Tiber River. This was done--but miraculosly the boys did not drown. They were both washed up on a hilltop where a wolf happened along and rescued them.The story goes on to say that a shepard came upon the wolf's den and took the boys home. Romulus and Remus grew up to be strong and brave. In the end they helped their grandfather become king again. Then Romulus and Remus founded a new city on the hill where they had been rescued. The two brothers fought over the naming of the city, and Romulus killed Remus. The city was named Rome after it's first king, Romulus.

So that's how Roddenberry got Romulus and Remus.

I give it a 10+ because it was the best series ending ever in the history of seires endings. Also because Q is in there.
-
I give it a ten, because Picard, at the end and in Family, finally gets in touch with his "feeling" side.
