Aeneas Silvius
Aeneas Silvius (said to have reigned 1110-1079 BC)[1] was third in the list of the mythical kings of Alba Longa in Latium, succeeding his father Silvius. The Silvii regarded him as the founder of their house.[2] Dionysius of Halicarnassus[3] ascribes to him a reign of 31 years.[4] Ovid does not mention him among the Alban kings.[5] According to Livy and Dionysius, the heir of Aeneas Silvius was named Latinus Silvius.
