Ro'mulus

son of the emperor Maxentius. He was nominmated colleague, in the consulship, to his father, whom he predeceased, as we learn from medals of consecration still extant, upon which he is represented as a boy. [See below.] The coin which bears the legend M.AUR. ROMULUS. NOBILIS. CAES. is probably spurious. (Eckhel, vol. viii. p, 59.)

[W.R]
