Alba Longa and Rome · legend to AD 14
Descended, they said, from Venus
In 69 BC Gaius Julius Caesar gave the funeral speech for his aunt Julia, the widow of Gaius Marius. Suetonius preserves his words: her family descended on her mother's side from the kings and on her father's side was akin to the immortal gods, for the Marcii Reges went back to Ancus Marcius, and the Julii to Venus. The plate prints the passage in full, with its source.
The legend had several forms. Virgil makes Iulus another name for Ascanius, son of Aeneas and Creusa; Livy will not decide whether Iulus was Ascanius or an elder brother born at Troy; Dionysius makes him the eldest son of Ascanius. Livy says the Julii were an Alban family made patricians at Rome when Alba Longa fell, and Cassius Dio reports that Caesar at times wore the high red boots of the Alban kings, claiming kinship through Iulus. Caesar dedicated a temple to Venus Genetrix, 'the Mother', in 46 BC, and his coins showed Aeneas carrying Anchises from Troy. On the record, his only child born in marriage, Julia, died in 54 BC, and in his will he adopted his sister's grandson Gaius Octavius.
The piece
The plate is laid out on deep red like the wall of a Roman house. Four portraits anchor it: Venus and Aeneas at the top, shown as Roman artists portrayed them, and Caesar and Augustus below. The eye follows the dotted line of legend down from the goddess, crosses the rule where the record begins, and ends at the gold dashed line that made Octavius the son of Caesar.

Size guide
Find the right size
