Book VIII of the Aeneid is remarkable for the diversity of its subject matter.

Aeneas travels upriver to the site where Rome will be founded.

He meets King Evander, who tells him the dramatic story of Hercules and Cacus and shows him round 'Rome' before it is Rome.

Aeneas' mother makes new armour for him and at the end of the book we see him brandishing the shield whose centrepiece is the triumph of Augustus.
