Numitor and Amulius. Their respective characters. Division of their father's possessions. Policy of Numitor. Death of Egestus. Rhea enters upon her duties as a vestal virgin. Unexpected events announced. Rhea Silvia, the mother of Romulus, was a vestal virgin, who lived in the kingdom of Latium about four hundred years after the death of Æneas.
He told them of the original division which had been made thirty or forty years before, of the kingdom and the estates of his father, between Amulius and himself, of the plans and intrigues by which Amulius had contrived to possess himself of the kingdom and reduce him, Numitor, into subjection to his sway, of his causing Egestus, Numitor's son, to be slain in the hunting party, and then compelling his little daughter Rhea to become a vestal virgin in order that she might never be married.
The son, whose name was Egestus, he caused to be slain at a hunting party, by employing remorseless and desperate men to shoot him, in the heat of the chase, with arrows, or thrust him through with a spear, watching their opportunity for doing this at a moment when they were not observed, or when it might appear to be an accident.
