Ascanius Senior’s presence in Murshidad, the 'capital' of the Mogul Province of Bengal, was crucial to the subsequent elevation of Mir Jaffir’s semi-imbecile son, Najam-ud-dowla, to this position, and the assumption by the East India Co. of the power to make all appointment to the Nawab’s Council.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 95.07.11   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Ascanius is the exception to the pattern of young men destroyed by war, for Apollo restrains his potentially dangerous enthusiasm (653-56), and he will survive to be the ancestor of the Julians.
The cultural connotations of the presentation of the Trojans and Italians are explored mainly in the context of the episode in which Ascanius kills Numanus Remulus, both in the introduction, where H.'s treatment is somewhat cramped and confusing, and in the commentary, which I believe does not deliver the balanced picture promised by the introduction.
Ascanius is careful to ask for divine approval of his own youthful boldness." The comment implies a difference between Turnus and Ascanius because Ascanius carefully asks for divine sanction, but in the passage cited at 9.3 audax Turnus is probably to be thought of as waiting for a divine sign, which he gets, from Iris.

 Claudio Salvucci: Excerpt from the Lives of the Alban Kings
Some, who had never approved of the alliance between Trojans and Latins, accused Ascanius of having murdered her; these were at first ignored in deference to the character of the king, which few really doubted, but as no evidence ever turned up, suspicions began to rise.
Others maintain that she feared the jealousy of Ascanius her step-son, who she thought would look amiss at any potential heir to the throne which was not of his direct issue; this I think to be the most probable reason.
Secondly, the affection which Ascanius showed his step-brother, and raised him in the court alongside his own son Iulus—even, as we shall see, to the latter’s political detriment—shows clearly that the king believed him to be of blood no less regal than his own.

The group sculpture Aeneas and Anchises represents Aeneas fleeing from the burning city of Troy bearing his elderly father Anchises on his shoulders, and his son Ascanius carrying the sacred fire of the hearth, while Anchises holds the 'penates' or family household gods.
The twenty-one-year old Lorenzo Bernini, still influenced by his father Pietro's late sixteenth-century tower-shaped compositions, executed this group between 1618 and 1620, but many experts believe that this is mainly his father's work.
