Romulus and Remus, the twins of the legend of the foundation of Rome, were said to be the sons of Silvia Rhea, the daughter of the deposed king of Alba Longa.

Who does the Romans trace their origin?
The Romans traced their origins to the unification of separate settlements on what were to be the Seven Hills of Rome into a unified state under the rule of Romulus, Rome's founder and first king. The foundation was also said to have involved a fusion between Latins and some Sabines who settled on two of the seven hills. There was also a legend that had Romulus as a descendant of Ascanius who funded the Latin city of Alba Longa and its royal dynasty. He and his twin brother Remus were the sons of Rhea Silvia, the daughter of the deposed king of that city. Ascanius was the son of Aeneas, a legendary figure who was meant to have survived the Trojan War with the help of two gods and who landed in Latium (land of the Latins) and founded the Latin city of Lavinium. Therefore, the Romans claimed descent from the Trojans. However, this was based on legend. In reality the Latins were not related to the Trojans. The legend of Aeneas served to bridge a 400-year gap between the date of the foundation of Rome and the date of the Trojan War.
How did Vergil's Aeneid re waken roman pride?
The Aeneid is an epic about Aeneas, a hero of the Trojan war who sailed the Mediterranean Sea, landed in Italy and went to the city of Lavium in Latium (the land of the Latins) just south of Rome (Rome was a Latin city). Latinus, the king of the Latins welcomed him and is companions. Latinus and Aeneas' men defeated the Rutuli in a war. This is how the Aeneids ends. The story of the Aeneid is linked with a Roman legend according to which, through Aeneas, the Romans were descendants of the Trojans. According to the legend of the foundation of Rome, Ascanius, the son of Aeneas, founded the city of Alba Longa and its Royal house. In the very early days of the Latins Alba Longa (not Rome) was the chief city of the Latins. The legend said that the founder of Rome, Romulus, and his twin brother, Remus were born into the Royal family of Alba Longa and, therefore, descendants of Aeneas and the Trojans. The Romans claimed that they were descendants of the heroic Trojans and were proud of this.
