Romulus Silvius

Romulus Silvius (said to have reigned 873-854 BC)[1] was a descendant of Aeneas and a king of Alba Longa.

Alba Longa was a city near the site of Rome, founded later by Romulus, his great-great-great-grandson in 753 BC.

He was also known as Aremulus or Alladius.

Romulus Silvius is said to have been a wicked ruler and pretended to know how to make thunder in order to frighten his subjects into worshiping him as a god.

He perished in a thunderstorm with excessive rain.
