Aeneas veni a Italia.

On dice que in tempores antiquissime Saturno veniva a in Italia. Non multo distante del Janiculo ille construeva un citadella e lo nominava Saturnia. Ille esseva le prime persona qui inseniava al Italos le agricultura.

Postea Latino governava ille regiones. In ille tempore Troia esseva conquerite in Asia per le Grecos. De ille loco Aenaes le filio de Anchisa e le dea Venere, escappava con multe trojanos, qui habeva supervivite ille guerra, e arrivava a Italia. Ibi le rege Latino le recipeva benignemente e dava a ille su filia Lavinia, in matrimonio. Illac Aeneas fundava un urbe, que ille appellava Lavinio in honor de su marita.

...

Le reges alban.

Post le morte de Aeneas, Ascanio, le filio de Aeneas, recipeva le regno. Ille transfereva le sede del regno a un altere loco, e fundava un urbe in le Monte Albano, e lo appellava Alba Longa.

Silvio succedeva Ascanio, qui nasceva per Lavinia post le morte de Aeneas. Omne su descendentes regnava in le urbe Longa durante que Roma esseva fundate.

Un ex le reges, Romulo Silvio, diceva que ille esseva plus grande que Jupiter, e durante que il tonava, ille mandava que illes percute lor scutos con lor lanceas e diceva que lste sono esseva multo plus forte que le sono del tonitro. Colpite per un fulmine, ille esseva jectate in le laco alban.

Silvio Proca, le rege del albanos, relinqueva duo filios, Numitore e Amulio. Ille legava le regno a Numitore, qui esseva le filio major. Amulio, post expeller su fratre per fortia, obtineva le regno.

...

Romulo e Remo

Amulio, pro assecurar su possession firme del regno, conspirava pro assassinar le filio de Numitore, e faceva su filia, Rhea Slivia, un virgine vestal, le quales, como sacerdotes, non poteva maritar se. Rhea tamen habeva filios gemine, Romulo e Remo. Quando Amulio apprendeva isto ille poneva lor matre in vinculos e mandava que on jactava le pueros a in le Tibere.

Le aqua del Tibere tunc habeva disbordate su ripas; e ben que le pueros esseva ponite in un canal del fluvio, le aqua, quando illo recedeva, les poneva in terra sic. Audiente lor critas, un lupa vadeva a illes e les nutriva. Vidente isto, Faustulo, un pastor de ille regiones, les portava via e les dava a su sponsa pro criar les.

Romulo e Remo tunc passava lor pueritia inter pastores. Quando illes deveniva adolescentes e apprendeva qui esseva lor granpatre e lor granmatre, illes occideva Amulio e restaurava le regno a Numitore. Illes tunc fundava un urbe in le monte Palatino, que Romulo nominava Roma, secundo su proprie nomine. Ille tunc circumfereva le urbe con muros. Su fratre los derideva e saltava sur illos, e Romulo, devenite irate, occideva Remo.

Antiquissimis temporibus Saturnus in Italiam venisse diciter. Ibi haud procul a Laniculo arcem condidit, eamque Saturniam appellavit. Hic primus Italis agri culturam docuit.

Postea Latinus in illes regionibus imperavit. Eo tempore Troia in Asia a Graecis eversa est. Hinc Aeneas, Anchisae filius et Veneris deae, cum multis Troianis, qui ex eo bello superfuerunt, aufugit, et in Italiam pervenit. Ibi Latinus rex eum benigne recepit atque ei filiam Laviniam in matrimonium dedit. Aeneas urbem condidit, quam in coniugis honorem Lavinium appellavit.

...

Post Aeneae mortem Ascanius, Aenaea filius, regnum accepit. Hic sedem regni in alium locum transtulit, urbemque condidit in monte Albano, eamque Albam Longam appellavit.

Ascanio successit Silvius, qui post Aeneae mortem a Lavinia genitus erat. Eius posteri omnes in urbe Alba regnaverunt, dum Roma condita est.

Unus ex regibus, Romulus Silvius, se maiorem esse quam Iovem dicebat, et, cum tonaret, milites hastis clipeos percutere iussit, dicebatque hunc sonum multo clariorem esse quam tonitrum. Fulmine ictis in Albanum lacum praecipitatus est.

Silvius Proca, rex Albanorum, duos filios reliquit, Numitorem et Amulium. Numitori, qui erat maior natu, regnum legavit. Tamen Amulius, fratre per vim expulso, regnum obtinuit.

...

Amulius, ut regnum firmissime possideret, Numitoris filium per insidias interemit, et filiam fratris, Rheam Silviam, Vestalem virginem fecit. Nam his Vestae sacerdotibus non licet nubere. Rhea tamen geminos filios Romulum et Remum peperit. Hoc cum Amulius comperisset, matrem in vincula coniecit, puerosque in Tiberim abici iussit.

Tiberis aqua tum ultra ripas se effuderat; et cum pueri in vado essent positi, aqua refluens eos in sicca terra reliquit. Ad eorum vagitum lupa accurrit, eosque nutrivit. Quod videns Faustulus quidam, pastor illius regiones, pueros abstulit, et uxori eos dedit educandos.

Romulus et Remus tum pueritiam inter pastores transegerunt. Cum adolevissent, et comperissent, quis avus, quae mater fuisset, Amulium interfecerunt, et Numitori avo regnum restituerunt. Tum urbem condiderunt in monte Palatino, quam Romulus a suo nomine Romam vocavit. Dum urbs moenibus circumdatur, Remus fratrem irridens moenia transiluit, et Romulus iratus Remum occidit.

People say that a really long time ago Saturn came to Italy. There not far from the Janiculum [a hill on the west side of the Tiber], he built a fort and called it Saturnia. He was the first person to teach Agriculture to the Italians.

Afterward Latinus ruled in those regions. At that time Troy was conquered by the Greeks. From there Aeneas, the son of Anchisa and the goddess Venus escaped with many Trojans who had survived that war and came to Italy. There the king, Latinus, gave him a kind reception and let him marry his daughter Lavinia. Aeneas founded a city, which he named Lavinium in honor of his wife.

...

After Aeneas' death Ascanius, the son of Aeneas, was given the kingdom. He moved its seat somewhere else and founded a city on Mount Alban and named it Alba Longa.

Silvius was succeeded by Ascanius, who had been born to Lavinia after Aeneas' death. All his descendants reigned in Alba Longa as Rome was being founded.

One of the kings, Romulus Silvius, said he was greater than Jupiter, and, when it thundered, he ordered his soldiers to hit their shields with their spears and said that this sound was much louder than the sound of thunder. He was hit by lightning and thrown into Lake Alba.

Silvius Proca, the king of the Albans, left behind two children, Numitor and Amulius. Numitor, who was older, inherited the kingdom. Amulius, after forcefully expelling his brother, took over the kingdom.

...

Amulius, to consolidate his power over the kingdom, conspired to kill off Numitor's son and made his daughter, Rhea Silvia, one of the vestal virgins, who, in their role as priestesses, could not get married. Rhea, however, gave birth to twin boys, Romulus and Remus. When Amulius learned about this he threw their mother into chains and tossed the boys into the Tiber.

The water of the Tiber had flooded over its shores; and though the boys were put in one of the river's channels, they were left on dry land by the water when it receded. Hearing their cries, a female wolf went to them and gave them nourishment. Seeing this, Faustulus, a shepherd in the area, took them away and gave them to his wife to bring them up.

Romulo and Remus then spent their childhood among shepherds. When they became adolescents and learned who their grandfather and grandmother were, they killed Amulius and restored the kingdom to Numitor. They then founded a city on the Palatine hill, which Romulus named Rome after his first name. He then surrounded the city with walls. His brother made fun of them and jumped over them, and Romulo got mad and killed him.
