He was a usurper. The rightful king was Romulus and Remus' grandfather. He forced the deposed king's mother, Silvia Rhea, to become a Vestal virgin (the Vestals were priestesses of the goddess Vesta who had to take a vow of chastity) because he did not want her to have children as they might overthrow him. However, she was impregnated by Mars. Therefore, he decided to get rid of the twins.
