It follows the Trojan hero Aeneas after the destruction of Troy as he travels across the Mediterranean in search of a new homeland destined to become the foundation of Rome. His journey includes warfare, supernatural intervention and his tragic relationship with Queen Dido of Carthage. Combining adventure with political and moral themes, the poem explores duty, destiny, sacrifice and the cost of founding a civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn very good overall condition.
