Ascanius
The son of
Aeneas (q.v.) and CreĆ¼sa.
According to the ordinary account, he accompanied his father to Italy, and, thirty years after
the building of Lavinium, founded Alba Longa, where, after his death, his step-brother Silvius
reigned. To him, by his name of Iulus, the gens Iulia traced its origin. See
Trojan War.
