Amulius

Amulius was a figure in Roman mythology.

Mythology
Amulius was the brother of Numitor, the king of Alba Longa. After dethroning his brother and killing his nephews, Amulius feared that Numitor's daughter, Rhea Silvia, would have children of her own. In order to prevent this, Amulius forced Rhea Silvia to become a Vestal virgin. This did not stop Rhea Silvia from having children, however, as she bore twin sons, Romulus and Remus. After their birth, Amulius had the twins thrown into the Tiber river and kept Rhea Silvia locked in a dungeon.

The twins survived being thrown into the Tiber and eventually returned to Alba Longa to kill their uncle and restore their grandfather to the throne.
