The worlds Romulus and Remus were settled by a Vulcan splinter group around 400 CE. These people later became the Romulans. Another theory suggests that the Vulcans actually originated on the planet Romulus and emigrated to Vulcan 2000 years ago.
Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome in Roman mythology, were the supposed sons of the god Mars and the priestess Rhea Silvia.
Romulus and Remus, however, were found by Tiberinus and nursed by a female wolf underneath a fig tree, according to the myth, and were able to survive.
In the fictional StarTrek universe, Romulus and Remus are the twin Romulan homeworlds.
Romulus and Remus were kept safe by the river god Tiberinus, who made the cradle catch in the roots of a fig tree growing in the Velabrum swamp, which therefore has a high symbolic significance.
Romulus, however, was thought the wiser and more politic of the two, and in his discussions with the neighbors about pasture and hunting, gave them opportunities of noting that his disposition was one which led him to command rather than to obey.
Romulus called these noble men Patricans not only because they were the fathers of legitimate sons, but also because he intended the great and the wealthy to treat the weak and the poor as fathers treat their sons.
