well, that would confirm what the ancient Romans supposed through their legends, and what Virgil immortalized in the Aeneid.

There is always more truth to ancient legend and myth than most people give it credit for.

The roman legends and the Aeneid - worthy masterpiece as it is - are about the Romans themselves and their linkage to Troy. This is regarding the Etruscans who predated Troy.
