Orestes and Romulus Augustus's mother married at some point before 449. It is believed that Romulus's mother, and thus perhaps her immediate family, were, like Orestes, from Roman Pannonia.

It is possible that Romulus Augustus had older siblings, especially given that Romulus was born several years after the marriage of his parents. In ancient Rome, it was customary for the eldest son to be named after his grandfather. That Romulus was not named Tatulus thus indicates that he was not the firstborn boy.
