How is Alba longa important to Rome?

Alba Longa is significant to Rome as it is considered the legendary ancestral home of the Roman people and the birthplace of Rome's founding figures, Romulus and Remus. According to myth, Alba Longa was a major city in ancient Latium and played a pivotal role in the early history of Rome. Its destruction by Romulus is often seen as a symbolic act that marked the establishment of Rome as a dominant power. The connection to Alba Longa helped to legitimize Roman authority and identity by linking them to a storied past.


Where is Alba Longa in an Ancient Rome map?

Alba longa is slightly farther north than rome. it too is on the tiber river. Alba longa is said to the birthplace of romes founder Romulus and his brother Remus. It is not sure where Alba Longa was, as it is a 'lost' town. The most likely guess is Castel Gandolfo, 15 miles SE of Rome. Alba Longa was associated with the Alban Hills, the original heartland of Latium, and was said to be at the foot of the sacred Mons Albanus (today's Monte Cavo). It is thought that it was on the western shore of lake Albano. Cemeteries of several proto-urban centres have been found along this shore and Castel Gandolfo had the largest one, suggesting that it was the nucleus of the area.
