AENEAS LANDING IN LATIUM
The reforms credited to Tullius may well have had similar goals an early stage in the long process whereby political power based on a personal armed following would give way to power gained and exercised through more formal, communal, and regulated means. But it is possible that practical considerations also played a role. In the sixth century, Rome’s territory now greatly exceeded its size in the seventh, so that smaller territorial tribes, and more of them, would make the mustering of the army a quicker, more convenient operation.
A shared identity linked the cities of Latium. Much later, Roman writers would maintain that the ancestor of all Latins was Aeneas, a noble Trojan who escaped from Troy as it fell to the besieging Greeks. After many adventures, Aeneas landed in Latium near the future city of Lavinium, where he formed a new people from his own followers and from the aboriginal inhabitants of the area. His son would found Alba Longa, the seat of kings who would rule Latium and found the other Latin cities. This tale certainly does not depict historical events: Latins were not Trojans, and Alba Longa probably never existed as a city and as the seat of a powerful dynasty of kings. But the myth does serve a distinct purpose: It expresses an unmistakable sense of a perceived relationship between the cities of Latium, and it also connects them to one of the most important “events” in Greek myth, celebrated in the epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, that were so central to Greek culture. Moreover, the inhabitants of Latium did have much in common. They shared the name of Latin (nomen Latinum), and they used variants of the Latin language. From the beginnings of the “Latial culture” around 1000, they also possessed a common material culture.
The belief in an identity that transcended the separate communities of Latium received clear expression in religious ritual. At certain festivals, Latin settlements came together for the performance of communal rites. The Latin Festival, or Latiar, held in honor of Jupiter Latiaris (Jupiter of the great feast of the Latins), was the most prominent.
