Mostly a propaganda piece and Greek fanfiction with a ton of Mary Sue characters.

Gives justification for Roman conquests:
(Peace and unity is the will of the gods)
Pushes for a return to the old religion practices:
(Roman rituals come from ancient Troy and are worthy to be continued)

10. The opening lines of the Aeneid:
ARMA virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris
Italiam, fato profugus, Laviniaque venit
litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto
vi superum saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram;
multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem,
inferretque deos Latio, genus unde Latinum,
Albanique patres, atque altae moenia Romae.

11. The opening lines of the Aeneid:
Arms, and the man I sing, who, forc'd by fate,
And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate,
Expell'd and exil'd, left the Trojan shore.
Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore,
And in the doubtful war, before he won
The Latian realm, and built the destin'd town;
His banish'd gods restor'd to rites divine,
And settled sure succession in his line,
From whence the race of Alban fathers come,
And the long glories of majestic Rome.
