Amulius was a figure from ancient Roman mythology, known primarily for his role in the legend of Romulus and Remus. He was the brother of Numitor, the rightful king of Alba Longa. Amulius usurped the throne, forcing Numitor into exile and ensuring that his own power remained unchallenged. To prevent any threats to his rule, Amulius ordered the twin brothers, Romulus and Remus, to be abandoned at birth. However, they were saved by a she-wolf and later raised by a shepherd. Eventually, Romulus would return to reclaim the throne and found the city of Rome, fulfilling the prophecy that Amulius sought to avoid.
