ROMULUS

(+309)

Maxentius' son - Caesar

Romulus, born in 294, is the son of Maxentius and Valeria Maximilia. Maximien Hercule and Galère are his grandfathers. He was twice consul, in 308 and 309. When he died in 309, Romulus was immediately deified, and Maxentius had a temple built for him on the Sacred Way next to the temple of Faustina..
