Romulus was the founder of Rome; and those tossed outside the city-gate are not Romulus's children but the cast-offs living in hovels, the Rumphulus.
However, this isn't ancient Rome, but rather the nature preserve of a contemporary American suburb.
The outcasts don't understand why they've been relegated to the woods.
Nor do they know if they will ever summon the courage to cross the roads that act as a physical and psychological barrier to their reentry into conventional society.
