An Ancient Roman Epic - The Aeneid
 




The heroic deeds of Prince Aeneas are wonderfully told in the ancient story of the Aeneid, written by the great Roman poet, Virgil. It was written around 30 BCE. 

The story takes place in the years between the fall of Troy  and the founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus, twin sons of the war god Mars. It tells what happened to the survivors of the city of Troy. It was written, in part, to justify Rome's right to expand her empire.
