For the custom of solemnly tracing
out the site of cities comp. 5. 755 note.
Humili, shallow. Tac. A. 1. 61 has
humili fossa, and Pliny Ep. 8. 20. 5 humili
radice. Comp. the double sense of
altus. This first settlement, distinct
from Lavinium, was part of the common
version of the legend: see Lewis p. 332.
According to Cato ap. Serv. and Livy 1. 1
it bore the name of Troia.

Iamque may either indicate a
transition (see Wagn. Q. V. 24. 9) or may
have its ordinary sense of just now or
already, implying that what is prophesied
will take place immediately. The
incompleteness of v. 41 makes the precise
sense here uncertain. The omen here
promised by the Tiber as a confirmation
of the vision had been promised already
by Helenus 3. 388 foll., though with a
different object: see on v. 46. Here
the white sow is Alba; the thirty young
ones are the thirty years that were
to elapse between the building of Lavinium
and Alba (v. 47); an explanation of
the legend as old as Varro, R. R. 2. 4, L.
L. 5. § 144. For the various forms of the
legend see Lewis vol. 1. pp. 334, 354, 5. The
symbolizing of the thirty years by the
thirty pigs is like the symbolizing of the
nine years of unsuccessful siege by the
sparrow and her eight young ones in Il. 2.
326 foll. For ne Rom. has nec. The
lines 43—45 are repeated from 3. 390—

The prophecy of the thirty years
had already occurred, though without a
symbol, 1. 269, where however a period of
three years is interposed before the foundation
of Lavinium. Redeuntibus annis
is from Lucr. 1.311, multis solis redeuntibus
annis, and both perhaps from the
Homeric periplome/nwn e)niautw=n (Od. 1.
16). In Lucr. the present participle is
used strictly, the action going on during
the whole time designated: in Hom. the
action happens at some one point in the
time, which is also the case in such expressions
as volventibus annis 1. 234,
lustris labentibus ib. 283: in the
present passage the action does not take
place till the completion of the time, so
that the present part. is used improperly.

Nec te Troia capit is again a prophecy
with more than one fulfilment, pointing
to the removal from Nova Troia to
Lavinium and from Lavinium to Alba, and
also to the necessary extension of the
Roman power over the world. There is
doubtless an allusion too to Philip's speech
to Alexander, thus given by Plut. Alex.
