Aeneas Silvius from Guillaume Rouillé's Promptuarii Iconum Insigniorum

Aeneas Silvius is the son of Silvius, grandson of Ascanius and great-grandson of Aeneas. He is the third in the list of the mythical kings of Alba Longa in Latium, and the Silvii regarded him as the founder of their house.[1] Dionysius of Halicarnassus[2] ascribes to him a reign of 31 years.[3] Ovid does not mention him among the Alban kings.[4] According to Livy and Dionysius the heir of Aeneas Silvius was named Latinus Silvius.
