Ascanius and the Kings of Alba
Latin
post Aeneae mortem Ascanius, Aeneae filius, regnum accepit. quod in alium locum transtulit, urbemque condidit in monte Albano, nomenque eius Albam Longam esse nuntiavit. eum secutus est Silvius, qui post Aeneae mortem a Lavinia genitus erat. eius posteri omnes, usque ad Romam conditam, Albae regebant.
unus horum regum, Romulus Silvius, se Iove maiorem esse dicebat, et, cum tonaret, militibus imperavit ut arma percuterent, dicebatque hunc clamorem multo clariorem esse quam tonitrum. Iuppiter iratus fulmen in eum deiecit et ille incensus in Albanum lacum cecidit.
Silvius Procas, rex Albanorum, duos filios reliquit, Numitorem et Amulium. horum minor natu, Amulius, fratrem rogavit utrum regnum habere mallet an bona, quae pater reliquisset. Numitor patris bona legit; Amulius regnum habuit.
