Anchises told Aeneas that he would be the ancestor to a line of people that would rule the world (otherwise known as the Romans) In the Underworld, Anchises showed Aeneas some of his people, pointing each out and telling of their accomplishments.

They reacted harshly against any religion which they considered was promoting revolution. First it was the Bacchanalians in the Second Century BCE. Later th Christians came under suspicion, as unlike honest worshipers who went to temples they met in private houses and had cannibalistic ceremonies of eating human flesh and drinking human blood.
