After the death of Aeneas, Ascanius built a city named Alba Longa. One of his descendants was Amulius, who drove his older brother Numitor from the throne. Amulius then put his nephews, the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, into the Tiber River in a basket, but they were saved by a shepherd and restored their grandfather to the throne. Later Romulus founded the city of Rome.
Ascānius, fïlius Aeneāe, oppidum Albam Longam aedificāvit. Post multōs annōs Amūlius superbus frātrem Numitōrem, rēgem Albae Longae, ex oppidō expulit. Amūlius fïliōs Numitōris necāvit; Rōmulum Remumque, nepōtēs Numitōris, in flūmine Tiberī posuit. Lupa puerōs parvōs servāvit, et pastor Faustulus puerōs ēducāvit. Rōmulus Remusque auxilium Faustulō dabant et cibum in silvā petēbant. Cum latrōnibus in silvīs pugnābant; praedam in pastōrēs dīvidēbant. Multī iuvenēs sē cum Rōmulō Remōque iunxērunt. Faustulus historiam puerōrum narrāvit. Rōmulus et Remus et aliī iuvenēs Amūlium necāvērunt et Numitōrem rēgem appellāvērunt. Posteā Rōmulus erat prīmus rēx Rōmae.
