Numitor was the father of Ilia (Rea or Rhea Silvia; this may have been her name when she became a Vestal Virgin). Amulius, Numitor's brother, plotted to have him remove. Amulius de...posed Numitor and imprisoned his brother.
To ensure that he had no rival to the crown, Amulius had Ilia sent to the temple of Vesta, to become a Vesta Virgin. Amulius hoped that Ilia never marry nor have a child. However, Mars seduced Ilia and she became pregnant. She gave birth to twins.
Upon leaning of the news of Ilia's sons, Amulius would have killed the helpless infants. Upon the advice of his priest Camers, Amulius had the twin infants placed in a basket; they were thrown into the Tiber, in the hope the infants would drown.
It was normal practice that a Virgin who broke her vows and was seduced, to bury the unfortunate girl alive. Ilia suffered from this fate, after her sons were born. Others say that Ilia drowned herself in the Tiber.
