	Alba Longa - LoveToKnow 1911
		ALBA LONGA, an ancient city of Latium, situated on the western edge of the Albanus Lacus, about 12 m.
		It was, according to tradition, founded by Ascanius, and was the oldest of all Latin cities - the mother indeed of Rome, by which, however, it was destroyed, it is said under Tullus Hostilius.
		Confirmation of this may be found in Cicero's description (Pro Milone, 85) of the destruction of the shrines and sacred groves of Alba by the construction of Clodius's villa, in the local application of the adjective Albanus, and in the position of Castel Gandolfo itself, which exactly suits Livy's description.
