Virgil wrote the Aeneid, which was the story of Aeneas, a hero of the Trojan War who sailed to Africa and Sicily and then stopped in Latium (land of the Latins). there he founded the Latin city of Lavinium The Aeneid stopped here. There was also a story according to which his son, Ascanius, was said to have founded another Latin city, Alba Longa, and its royal dynasty. Romulus and Remus, in the story of Romulus and Remus, the twins were the sons of Rhea Silvia, the daughter of Numitor, the king of Alba Longa, who had been deposed by his brother Amulius. Therefore, they were descendants of Aeneas. The Romans fancied themselves as descendants of the Trojans. The story of Aeneas and the story of Alba Longa bridged the 400 year gap between the date of the Trojan War and the date of the foundation of Rome.
