Rhea Silva (Romulus and Remus' mother) was the daughter of Numitor, the king of Alba Longa who was deposed by his brother Amulius. She was forced by her uncle to become a vestal virgin (priestesses of the goddess Vesta who had to vow chastity) because he did not want her to have children who could become rivals for power. However, she was impregnated by the god Mars. When Amulius learned of this, he imprisoned Rhea Silvia and ordered a servant to kill the twins, but heset them adrift in a basket on the River Tiber. They landed by the Palatine Hill (where Rome was later founded). They were adopted by a shepherd and grew up as shepherds. As young men they found out about their origin. They went to Alba Longa, freed their mother and grandfather, overthrew their Amulius and restored Numitor to the throne
