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.
