Romulus and Remus were twin sons of Silvia Rhea, the daughter of the king of the Latin city of Alba Longa who was deposed by his brother. They were put in the Tiber in a basket by a servant of their uncle because he wanted to kill them. The got caught by a fig tree in a marsh near the Palatine Hill and were breastfed by a she wolf. They were then raised by a shepherd and his wife, Faustulus and Acca Larentia.

Romulus and Remus wanted to found a new city. They disagreed about on the which hill to found it. Romulus wanted the Palatine Hill and Remus wanted the Aventine Hill. The settled the dispute by divination and Romulus won. He built a sacred wall around the Palatine Hill. A spiteful Remus violated it and Romulus killed him. Romulus became the founder of Rome and its first king by uniting the separate settlements of the Seven Hills of Rome under his rule.
