Romani a Romuli nomine nuncupati, qui urbem Romam condidit gentique et ciuitati nomen dedit.
Hi antea a Saturno Saturnii, a Latino Latini uocati sunt.
Nam Latinus Italiae rex fuit, qui ex suo nomine Latinos appellauit, qui postea Romani nuncupati sunt. |
| Translation |
84 . The Romans were named after Romulus, who founded the city of Rome and gave his name to both nation and city. These people were earlier called Saturnians, from Saturn, and Latins, from Latinus – for Latinus was king of Italy, who named the Latins from his own name – and they afterwards were called Romans.
