1035 Amata is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 57 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory in southern Germany on 29 September 1924 and assigned the provisional designation 1924 SW. It was probably named after Amata from Roman mythology.
Queen Amata was married to King Latinus and was the last Queen of the Latins. Her daughter Lavinia was promised in marriage to the Trojan Aeneas, therefore not ascending the Latin throne, weakening the strength of their family and allowing the Trojans to settle an Latin land. She decided it necessary to wed her daughter to Turnus of Rutulia instead, sparking a war between Troy and Rutulia. After killing Turnus in battle, Trojans began to settle in Italy, bonding with the Latins in order to form what would become Rome. Despite her rigid manner, Queen Amata was the last obstacle for the bitter Trojan rednecks.
