King Romulus, Founder of Rome's parents were changed to Ares and Princess Rhea Silvia, Princess of Alba Longa by Justin Swanstrom.

Now correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Mars his father?

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Romulus-and-Remus

"Rhea bore the twins Romulus and Remus, fathered by the war god Mars"

I do realize Mars is the equivalent to Ares but i highly doubt you will find a statue of Ares in Rome

This is the Master Profile for Romulus / Quirinus, founder of Rome.
Curator Note from Justin Swanstrom (5/31/2017):
Son of Rhea Silvia by either Mars or Hercules.

https://www.ancient.eu/Mars/
"the myths involving the god were borrowed from the Greek god of war Ares" Ares is NOT the same person! Would you find a statue of Mars in Greece? I highly doubt that.

Please correct this site and add Mars as Mars and not Ares.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracles NOTE :GREEK Consort Megara, Omphale, Deianira, Hebe . I do not see Rhea Silvia as a consort !

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules NOT; ROMAN Consort Juventas I do not see Rhea Silvia as a consort !

He is the Roman equivalent of the Greek divine hero Heracles again NOT the same person
