2. The Founding of the Latin Race...
“Aeneas, prince of Troy, son of Venus and Anchises,
escaped the fall of that city bearing the Penates
(household Gods) of his house on his back. Along with
other fugitives, he went into exile. He sailed from Troy in
western Anatolia, first to Macedonia on the Grecian
peninsula, then to Sicily, the island south of Italy, and
thence to the territory of Laurentum, on the Italian
mainland. In the course of their wanderings, Aeneas and
his men had lost everything they had, except for their
ships and swords; once ashore in Laurentum, they began
to scour the countryside for supplies.”
