Aeneas is a central figure in Roman mythology and history, often credited with founding the city of Rome. He was a Trojan prince who, according to legend, fled the fall of Troy and eventually settled in Latium, a region in Italy. The people who lived there were known as the 'Latins.' Over time, the Trojans and Latins united, and this union is considered the precursor to the founding of Rome.
