Answer 2

The correct answer is Romulus and Remus

In Roman mythology, Romulus and his twin brother Remus were the founders of the city of Rome. They were the sons of Rhea Silvia and Mars (or in some variations the demigod hero Hercules) and its history is recorded by many authors, including Virgil, who claims that his birth and adventures were destined for Rome was founded.

Romulus and Remus were the direct descendants of Aeneas, whose adventures guided by destiny to discover Italy are described by Virgil in A Aenida. Romulus and Remus were relatives of Aeneas through their mother's father, Numitor. Numitor was a king of Alba Longa, an ancient city of Lazio, in central Italy, and father of Rhea Silvia. Before the conception of Romulus and Remus, Numitor's kingdom was usurped by Nimitor's younger brother, Amulius. Amulius inherited control over Alba Longa's treasure with which he was able to dethrone Numitor and become king. Amulius, wishing to avoid any conflict of power, killed Nimitor's male heirs and forced Rhea to become a Vestal Virgin. Vestal virgins were priestesses of Vesta, the patron goddess of the hearth; they were charged with maintaining a sacred fire that should never be extinguished and making vows of chastity.
