Classical Roman History THE AENEID
AENEAS’ JOURNEY
AENEAS A silver denarius of Caesar (minted 47/46 BCE) shows Aeneas leaving Troy, carrying Anchises on his left shoulder and holding in his right hand not Iulus but the Palladium, the statue of armed Athena from the city of Troy, which strongly resembles a Nike figure (Amsterdam, Allard Pierson Museum).

Father tiber The chief river in central Italy, the Tiber rises as a small southwestern flow in the Apennines near Arretium, separating Etruria from Umbria and Latium. The Tiber River is the symbolic father of Rome, guiding Aeneas in a dream to the future site of Rome, bearing the infant twins Romulus and Remus to safety, and serving as a safe and profitable pathway for early Roman commerce.
