Person

Silvius

Silvius is a legendary king of Alba Longa, in most Roman accounts the son of Aeneas and Lavinia and the successor of Ascanius. The name Silvius was said to have been borne by all later Alban kings, a line that ended with Numitor and Amulius. These kings appear in Livy, Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Ovid but are generally regarded as invention.
