Ascanius

Greek · quartigod · trojan war · quartigod

Quartigod son of Aeneas by Creusa daughter of Priam. The canonical foundation-figure of the Roman gens Iulia's ancestral claim to Trojan-Aphrodisian descent — the genealogy through which Julius Caesar and Augustus claimed Venus-divine ancestry. Founder of Alba Longa per Livy and Dionysius. The Iulian-Silvian succession-schism (Iulus vs Silvius) at his death is the foundation-narrative of the Alban king-list dynastic structure that terminates in Romulus.
