Numitor's brother Amulius seized power, killed Numitor's male heirs and forced Rhea Silvia to become a Virgin. Rhea Silvia conceived the twins by the god Mars, or by the demi-god Hercules.

The river carried them to safety, a she-wolf found and suckled them A shepherd and his wife found them and fostered them to manhood as simple shepherds. The twins, still ignorant of their true origins, proved to be natural leaders. Each acquired many followers.
