#ascanius

• Alba Longa — An ancient, legendary city in central Italy, situated in the Latium region, in the Alban Hills, completely destroyed by Rome in the 7th century BC. According to Roman tradition and mythology, it was founded by Ascanius (son of the Trojan hero Aeneas) and was the home city of the twins Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome.
• Ascanio — A masculine given name of Italian and Spanish origin, derived from the classical Greek and Latin name Ascanius. In mythology, Ascanius was the son of the legendary Trojan hero Aeneas and the founder of Alba Longa; historically and culturally, the name is borne by prominent figures of the Italian Renaissance (such as Cardinal Ascanio Sforza) and frequently appears in literary, musical, and operatic works.
• Ascanius — The Romanianized form of the name of the legendary hero Ascanius from Roman mythology, son of the Trojan Aeneas and Creusa, historically recognized as the founder of the city of Alba Longa and mythic ancestor of the Gens Julia (through his secondary name, Iulus). As a rare Romanian masculine given name, it carries a strong classical cultural significance, structurally representing the continuity of Latin onomastic tradition.
• Ascanius — The Latin language name and international academic form for the son of Aeneas, strictly used in classical philology, ancient history, and literary historiography (especially in the analysis of Virgil's Aeneid). This character represents a key structural element in the political propaganda of the Augustan era, justifying the divine legitimacy of the Julio-Claudian dynasty through a direct connection to the goddess Venus.
