Trivia[]
- Romulus shares his name with one of the mythic twins who supposedly founded Rome, Romulus and Remus, who were the sons of the god Mars and the princess Rhea Silvia. Rhea Silvia's father, the king of Alba Longa, was deposed and her uncle, to prevent her from having children to challenge him for the throne, forced Rhea Silvia to become a Vestal Virgin. However, Rhea Silvia was seduced by Mars and bore twins sons: Romulus and Remus. When this was discovered, she had to abandoned the infants, but they were rescued and raised by a she-wolf. When they grew up, the twins returned and killed their uncle. Later on, the brothers founded a new city but, in an argument of what to name the city, Romulus killed Remus. Romulus then named the city Roma (Rome) after himself and made himself its first king. As such, it makes sense for the character to be an ally of Mars as well as have the title of Heavenly King.
- Romulus's attack technique, Cremito Rupis, references Romulus and Remus, who were raised by wolves (Rupis being a Romanization of the word "Lupis", which is the Latin word for wolf). Cremito might reference the mythological mother of Romulus, Rhea Silvia, who was forced to become a virgin priestess of Vesta, the goddess of the hearth and of households. These priestesses were charged with tending the sacred fires of Vesta. Cremito is very similar to the word cremate, which is obviously caused by fire.
