This shows a lot about the culture because it demonstrates the priorities: the queen got really mad so she killed herself while she was burning with his gifts and cursed that there would forever be hatred between her decedents and the decedents of aneus, the puinick wars war between the two sides, to prove the depth of her hatred aneas crossed many frontiers so he decended to the underworld and return, when he was in the underworld he found clear indication of where would be the right place to build the new kingdom, he was told it would be in the right place when he found the white pig with babies, they were met by the king there latinous king he welcomes them and marries his daughter to aneas, one of the great things about the romans is that they were really good at recognizing excellence amoung others and their own creative adaptability.
