  Alba Longa - LoveToKnow 1911
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.
The lapis Albanus is a green grey volcanic stone with fl and white grains in it (hence the modern name, peperino), much used for building material.

 Albanus Mons - LoveToKnow 1911

Upon the Mons Albanus stood the temple of Jupiter Latiaris, where the annual festival of the Latin League was held.

In the later republican period the territory of Alba (the Ager Albanus) was settled once again with many residential villas, which are mentioned in ancient literature and of which remains are extant.

 Four Ancient Books of Wales: Introduction: Chapter VII. The Races of Britain and the Place of the Picts Among Them
Here the two brothers, Brittus and Albanus, appear, and the latter is the eponymus of the inhabitants of Alban or Scotland, while the tradition of the retreat of the race of the one before that of the other seems to be preserved.
The Historia had said that Brittus and Albanus were brothers, and sons of Hessitio, and that from them proceeded the nations of the Britti and the Albani.
In several of the old poems contained in the Book of Taliessin, allusion is made to a combination between the Brython and the Gwyddyl, and the name of Brithwyr, which means mixed men as well as painted men, seems to have been applied to this mixed part of the Pictish nation.

 Latium
An alternative explaination could be 'small stream', from the IE root *ab- 'water, river', to which is related Latin amnis.
Etymology: This name was prototypical for later Roman foundations (colonies), but originally it was likely related to the IE root *albho- 'white', maybe with a meaning of 'clearance' or even 'hole', referred in this case to the crater filled by the Albanus lacus.
According to Pallottino, the adjective longa 'long' derived from the succession of villages on the shores of the Albanus lacus.
