The Oenotrians were the first people to leave Greece in search of new land; they came to Italy in the 17th century BC. After the death of Oenotrus their king, they became divided into three peoples: the Italians, the Morgetes and the Sicels. However, there were also those Oenotrians who lived in the Apennine Mountains, and became thus completely withdrawn from Oenotrian government, living in secluded tribal societies. After some time, finding their population growing too big for life in the mountains, they came down and made war upon the Umbrians, seizing part of their territory by storm as they suddenly came down from the mountains, for which reason they were called Aborigines since that time (this means "people from the mountains"). The Aborigines settled in the region around Reate, which included the location of the later city of Rome.

After the fall of Troy in the early 12th century BC, Aeneas, prince of Dardania (allies of the Trojans), led a sizable force of Trojans and Dardanians and other allies in search of a new home. They came to Italy and did battle with the Aborigines; but afterwards they made peace with them, and Aeneas married Lavinia, the daughter of the Aborigine king Latinus. When Latinus was killed by the Rutulians, Aeneas led both his own people and the Aborigines in the war against them, calling them one people: the Latins. Afterwards, the descendants of Aeneas were Kings of the Latins for many centuries. It was Romulus and Remus, the sons of the Latin King Numitor, who founded the city of Rome in 753 BC.

Good stuff.

Cool to think that Romans had some Trojan blood in them.

People say the story of Aeneas is just a myth, but I think the story is plausible, as the fall of Troy fell in a historical period of mass migration over sea in Greece and the Middle East, as is evidenced by the fall of the Hittite Kingdom and the accounts of the wars against the "Sea Peoples" in Egyptian history.
