Though Romulus was not used in actual Rome as a family name, residents have requested that the legendary FOUNDER of ROME be acknowledged with a Family of his own. Livy is our fullest source for the Romulus and Remus founding legend, but not the only ancient source. Romulus and Remus were twins, sired by Mars, so their Vestal Virgin mother told. Abandoned as infants, they were suckled by a wolf. When grown, they overthrew their usurper uncle and created their own city, which was called Rome, to honor Remus after he was killed by accident or by design.
