“Prōgeniem sed enim Trōiānō ā sanguine dūcī, audierat, Tyriās ōlim quae verteret arcēs. But indeed – From the blood of Troy was to issue a race of men,”
[so] she had heard, [a people] which one day would overthrow this Tyrian citadel. (The goddess Juno resented the descendants of Troy who would later found Rome, which one day would supersede her beloved Carthage; the Carthaginians had come from Tyre.
