Some variants of the legend say that Remoria was also the place where Remus was buried after he was killed by Romulus.

== Location == Roman historical sources provide conflicting information about the exact location of Remoria. While some sources place it on the peak of the Aventine, others place it on a hill near the Tiber, at a distance of either 5 Roman miles or 30 stadia downstream from the Palatine hill. Plutarch identifies the summit of the Aventine as the auguraculum and the tomb of Remus but refers to it as Ρεμώνιον (Rhemónion) or Ρεμώνια (Rhemónia), noting that it was contemporaneously called Ριγνάριον (Rhignárion). Later generations of historians have used literary and archaeological evidence to build a hypothesis that places Remoria on the left bank of the Tiber, further south of the city. During their study on the walls of Rome, the archaeologists Antonio Nibby and William Gell placed the site on the location of the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in the Ostiense quarter.
