After the capture of Troy, they submitted to Aeneias the son of Anchises, and his successors ruled over the people until the foundation of the city.
The history of these kings has been related by many different writers, not only native Romans but also Greeks.
It will be sufficient to quote just two of them, as reliable witnesses to the events which we are considering.
Firstly, I will quote Dionysius, who provides a brief description of the history of the Romans; as well as other books, he wrote an Ancient History of the Romans.
In the first book, he gives an account of Aeneias and the kings after him, (?) up until the capture of Troy.
From this book I will summarise what is essential, and what is related to the matters which we are considering here, as follows [ DionHal_1.9 ].
