The younger, Amulius, dispossessed his elder <br> brother, Numitor, and seized his throne. Numitor’s daughter, <br> Rhea Silvia, although a Vestal Virgin, gave birth to two sons <br> whose father, she claimed, was the god Mars. Amulius, pre- <br> Tending to be outraged by his niece’s treachery to her vow of <br> perpetual chastity, seized this opportunity to destroy his <br> brother’s descendants, imprisoned Rhea Silvia, and set the <br> twins adrift in a basket on the Tiber, expecting them to be <br> drowned. The basket drifted ashore, however, and the infants <br> were found and nursed by a she-wolf. Later they were reared by <br> a shepherd, Faustulus, and his wife. <br> <br> <br> When the brothers, Romulus and Remus, reached manhood, <br> They discovered that they were Numitor’s grandsons. Gather- <br> ing a band of fellow shepherds, they went to Alba Longa, killed <br> Amulius, and restored the throne to Numitor. The twins then <br> decided that with their band of followers they would found a <br> city. But they quarreled over which should give his name to the <br> city and be its ruler. One story has it that Romulus was pro- <br> claimed ruler; when the walls were under construction but still <br> very low, Remus derisively jumped over them, whereupon <br> Romolus killed him in anger. Romulus, in any case, became sole <br> leader, gave the new city his name, and was its first King. <br>
