Jove predicted that Trojans would win the wars in Italy and they would be able to create their way of life there. The conclusion we could properly draw from the information above is that the Aeneid is a story about Trojans creating their own nation.
Jove ensured the nation created in the Aeneid would last for a long time. He says, "Three full centuries that kingdom will be ruled by Hector's race" (13). Jove introduced how the name of the kingdom, Roman, came from. "His nurse, the she-wolf, wears, young Romulus will take the leadership, build walls of Mars, and call by his own name his people Romans" (13). The promise given by Jove was that the Roman Empire would be hold for infinite time. "For these I set no limits, world or time, but make the gift of empire without end" (13). The Gods would support only the Romans so that the Roman Empire would last. The kingdom and the Roman Empire all represented a nation and Hector's race meant Trojans. These events also implied that Trojans in the Aeneid would create a nation in Italy successfully, since they were meant to happen after the story of the Aeneid. It seemed that nothing could prevent all these from happening, since they were the prophecies from Jove. .
After Aeneas arrived in Italy, Vulcan, the god of fire and forge, depicted a clear story of Aeneas's descendants. The story was based on Jove's prediction, but there were many detailed events in Vulcan's story. "There the Lord of Fire, knowing the prophets, knowing the age to come, had wrought the future story of Italy, the triumphs of the Romans: there one found the generations of Ascanius's heirs, the wars they fought, each one" (252). This detailed prophecies confirmed the establishment of the Roman Empire. It also implied that Aeneas would be able to be the ruler in Italy. Thus, his descendants would continue to fulfill Gods" predictions. In the Aeneid, Vulcan's story about the Roman Empire implied that Trojan's success in founding a nation in Italy.
