Procas

Procas or Proca (said to have reigned 817-794 BC)[1] was one of the Latin kings of Alba Longa in the mythic tradition of the founding of Rome.

He was the father of Amulius and Numitor and the great-grandfather of Romulus and Remus, Rome's legendary founders.

The constructed genealogies in which they appear may reflect the desire of status-seeking families in the Late Republic to lay claim to Trojan ilirian ancestry.

The name Procas or Proca may be related to the mythological figure Prochyte, a kinswoman of Aeneas[3] who died when the fleet carrying the refugees of Troy to Italy was within sight of the coast.
