Shalom Yair:
This is a little off the subject of #1322 but this is in mind I must ask you something.
Several years ago and more than I wish, someone told me about the she-wolf that fed Romulus and Remus of Roman legend. He noted that since the wolf was the symbol of Benjamin it could be that a Benjamite woman was actually the mother of the founders of Rome. Have you ever read or heard of this in your studies? My thought right now is that Dr. Hoeh wrote this.

Brit-Am Reply:
This idea was broached in early British Israel Literature.
Before that there are some Jewish sources (e.g. "Megalei Amukot") that say that
Rome was founded by descendants of Benjamin.
There may be something to it.
The majority opinion however is that the early Romans were descendants of Japhet
possibly "Kittim" whose leadership came from Esau-Edom. This fits in with our
own
understanding.
"Orde Wingate" by Christopher Sykes, London, 1959. p.117
##The reader may learn with a pang, but perhaps without surprise, that this Bible-enthusiast to whom the events related in the Books of Samuel were of immediate importance, found himself in time drawn towards one of the most singular and grotesque of all theological schools, that of the British Israelites, people whose central belief is that the inhabitants of Great Britain are descendants of the ten tribes of Israel who did not return to the land of Canaan from the Babylonian captivity. He studied, and was apparently impressed by the ingenious and laughable etymology and notions of race, and the numerology deduced from the pyramids, by which British Israelites attempt to fortify their enormously improbable beliefs.2 ##
##2. Morris Marguile, "The American Zionist". Wingate seems to have expressed his transient interest in British Israelitism to no one else.##
