# Livy: Founding of Rome

🏷 Latin text hidden ruler interlinear phoenix · text — by Gerry · Aug 2023 · 12479 words

The History of Rome by Titus Livius reveals that Rome was actually founded by the Phoenicians, namely the Tyrians. The pun-encrypted secret history tells how the Tyrian bronze-clad armies were invincible and could plunder freely. But local people hated & fought them everywhere, so the Tyrian overlords bribed local rulers to hide behind, and disguised themselves. In Italy, they reinvented themselves as “Trojans”, then “Latins”, then “Romans”. This explains Rome’s apparent rise to global power: It had been a global power all along! Virgil’s Aeneid tells the same story.

## Introduction

Livius states in his history that Rome was founded by Trojan refugees around the hero Aenas, as told in the Aeneid, who then mingled with the local Latins. That’s nowhere mentioned in the Greek legend of Troy though, so today it’s admitted to be made-up.

Instead, modern historians claim Rome grew organically from small local Latin, Sabine & Etruscan tribes alone, without anyone else interfering. But that explanation looks false too:

Rome went very rapidly from being founded as a single city in 753 BC to a streamlined republic in 509 BC, and then conquered the entire Mediterranean. It continued to grow into a global empire, one of the largest in human history. Rome reached its largest extension in 117 AD, ruling one-sixth to one-fourth of the world’s population. Incredible!

It’s all the more incredible as Rome evolved right under the noses of many existing empires, which it then conquered left & right. What did the Romans have that the older empires didn’t have? Shouldn’t the older powers know more about technology, trade, strategy and warfare? Wouldn’t they have crushed an upstart competitor? Something’s missing here.

If you’ve read Miles’ works, you’ll know that stories about a stellar rise to the top are typically forgeries. That’s true for celebrities, corporations, and nations. What comes out at the top usually comes from the top. Only that’s not admitted to the public.

And when you take a few steps back, it’s also obvious for Rome: Just about when Rome was founded, many Greek colonies were also founded in Italy, so many that the South was called Magna Graecia. The Phoenician colony Carthage was founded before Rome, not so far away, and developed similarly. And there’s even many traces of Phoenician settlement & trade in and around Italy, such as in Sicily, Ustica, Filicudi, Ischia, Capri, Elba, Tuscany, Populonia.

So, Rome must have been a colony, imbued with existing power by an existing empire. From the many Greek influences you’d guess it was a Greek city-state. But inofficially, Phoenician Tyre was the secret superpower behind pretty much all other powers, much like the USA today. Only that’s been censored out of official history.

Only when you decrypt the Roman texts word-for-word, they tell us the unofficial story: The Tyrians founded Rome, with the help of traitors from local elites! They covered it up from the beginning, because everybody already hated them. Livy’s encrypted history even mentions how the Tyrian armies were near-invincible because of their bronze, and tells how the Tyrians usually possessed other nations. It then recounts the secret invasion of Italy. These are the stages:

- At first, Tyrian brute-force invasions of Italy are apparently thwarted by the hostile locals. So the Tyrians consider a secret invasion. 🡻
- Generally, the Tyrians apparently approach local nobles secretly, and have them betray their nations. The Tyrians then become official allies, until they finally possess the land. 🡻
- One very important passage reveals the source of Tyrian power: It’s the bronze! Because of their superior bronze-clad armies & navy, the Tyrians can loot & plunder freely! 🡻
- In Italy too, native rulers enter into a pact with the Tyrians. They also agree to take part in covering up the invasion. 🡻
- The Tyrians then found a new city, use the local populations for mining, and secretly ship the treasures off. 🡻
- To make this work, they rule secretly from behind local elites, and all are to be addressed as “Latins”. 🡻

The most important puns in Livy’s history already hint at the Tyrian secret:

- The founders of Rome are said to be Troiani “Trojans”, and that’s spelled almost like Tyriani “Tyrians”. The myth that “Trojan” refugees founded Rome may have developed out of this pun. In the Aeneid, Tyre is even in the official text.
- Aeneas, the mythical Trojan hero who founded Rome, is spelled exactly like aeneas for “bronze”. And Phoenician power was founded on a monopoly on tin and bronze. Several Latin words for “bronze”, like aerarius, were also used for persons occupied with bronze. My guess is that “bronzer” may have been a nickname for Phoenician traders.
- The mythical local king is called Latinus, and his people the Latini “Latins”. That puns with latens / latenti for “hidden” & “latent”. These local Latin tribes likely really existed. But in the texts, the word often encrypts that something is “hidden”.

Bronze and other ores were likely also the reason for Italy’s colonization. It’s perhaps even the reason why the locals could resist at first, and it had to be covered up. Some of the oldest European copper mines are found in Liguria, there was copper around Populonia and on Elba, and there are tin ores in Tuscany. The locals knew metallurgy, and the regional Iron Ages were also starting in Italy. So probably, the Tyrian overlords had to move in, before the locals were fully armed up. (Similar moves may have occurred in the late Bronze Age collapse.)

I’ve only decrypted the beginning so far, but it’s already proof that most of human history is a forgery, and the literal content of historical texts is never to be trusted.

## Tyrians invade Italy in disguise

### Tyrians feign to be Trojans.

The first sentence is already weird: Trioa capta in ceteros saevitum esse Troianos “Troy was captured, the others violated was the Trojans”. The official meaning is “the other Trojans were violated”, i.e. all but the 2 heroes of this story. But the word “others” is not necessary, the next phrase already says it’s the 2. And the authors put esse Troianos “it’s the Trojans” at the end. Of course when Troy is captured, it’s about Trojans. So why this garbled sentence?

My theory was always that Rome was really founded by Phoenicians. That explains Rome’s spooky rise to world domination. And it also explains this weird introductory sentence. The real phrase would read: Trioa capta in ceteros scivitum esse Tyrianos “Troy was a deception for others to be perceived, it was the Tyrians”. capta means “captured”, but also “deceived”. saevitum “violated” is similar to scivitum, an irregular form for scitum “to know”. And Troianos “Trojans” is similar to Tyrianos, an irregular form for Tyrios “Tyrians”.

This interpretation is not proof by itself, but it’s later confirmed in many sentences. One says that Troy is just one place, and the people as a whole are called Veneti. This means that Tyre is just one city, and the people as a whole are called Phoenicians.

### When trying to get the bronze by force, they are defeated by locals.

Here, the literal text indroduces Aeneas & Antenor, Trojan heroes, who had “pledged” to pacis reddendae Helenae “peacefully return Helena”. They could therefore “avoid” the ius belli “laws of war”, by which they would have been punished otherwise. Antenor then joined a multitudine Enetum “crowd of Eneti”, who had been pulsi “banished”.

Obviously, Troy has nothing to do with Rome. The heroes’ Greek names were random-picked from the Troy myth only for their Latin pun values: Greek Aeneas puns perfectly with Latin aeneas “copper” & “bronze”, and bronze trade was what gave Phoenician Tyre its military & financial power. Antenor is not as straightforward. I think he’s supposed to pun with Latin attineor “possessing”. Together the names probably mean that the Tyrians here want to possess bronze ores in Italy. However, generally the pagis reddendae alienae “rural people take revenge on the foreigners”, when these foreigners try to “avoid” the local ius belli “laws by war”. Apparently, on multitudine eventum “many occasions”, the invaders were pulsi “defeated”.

In the beginning, I had thought that great “civilizations” could invade “uncivilized” lands more or less at whim, that it was a logistics problem at most. Apparently, this was not always so. If this is true, then I salute our European ancestors here, for managing to kick some bronze-clad butt, and repel the superpower scum for a while.

#### History of Rome 1.1.b

> Encrypted: Generally, it was dangerous for bronze to be obtained, both because it was prevented by local laws & authorities for foreigners, and also because the rural clans to take vengeance on hostile foreigners, always this pledge they had made, when all their laws by military force the bronze traders had tried to avoid. Occasions had occurred then various to obtain it, with a multitude of occurrences, which led to insurrections from the people contesting it, and to the defeat of the bronze traders.

> Official: But these two men, Aeneas and Antenor, both because of ancient laws of hospitality, and also because to peace and to giving back Helena, always this pledge they had made, so all the punishment laws of war by the Acheans Aeneas and Antenor avoided. Events occurred then various to Antenor with a crowd of Eneti, who were separated from Paphlagonia by banishment.

### Only with a wrapping veil can the invasion begin.

Here, the literal text says that the Eneti refugees are “looking for” a “settlement” and a ducem “leader”, because their rege Pylaemene “king Pylamenes” had been ad Troiam amisso “lost in Troy”. Why do they mention this king, when he never appears again?

The secret text likely says that the Tyrians are also “looking for” a “settlement”, probably a fortified one to start their looting expeditions from. This is to become Rome. But they also need a dicis “appearance” and a raga velamenis “covering rag”, i.e. a veil, ad introeam amicto “for the covered-up invasion”.

Note: The last 3 puns are a bit fuzzy & uncertain: dux / ducis / ducem “leader” would pun well with dix / dicis / dicem “appearance”, but only the form dicis is attested, the others are inferred. Troiam “Troy” only puns with introeam “invading” when you add the word “in”. But the Latin sentence doesn’t have the word “in”, even though it would fit the meaning. Maybe it was present in earlier versions. As for amisso “lost” punning with amicto “cover”, they are only similar in forms that aren’t used here: Latin amitto “lost” is spelled the same as Italian amitto “cover”, where the C in the Latin form has been swallowed. Overall, the meaning of should be clear though: The Tyrians were defeated before, and therefore need both a base and a cover.

#### History of Rome 1.1.c

> Encrypted: And thus a fortified settlement and an appearance as a wrapping covering veil for an invasion to be covered-up they were looking for.

> Official: And thus a stable settlement and a leader, as their king Pylaemenes in Troy they had lost, they were looking for.

### Local nobles betray their nations to the Tyrians.

Here, the literal text tells how the refugees come to the intimum maris Hadriatici “innermost Adrian sea”, and after the Euganei are pulsis “defeated”, who inter mare Alpesque incolebant “dwelled between Alps and sea”, the Trojans go on to possess the land.

The encrypted text is difficult again. It seems to be an introduction to plan B, saying that the Tyrians typically bribed the local aristocrats to accept their invasions: They came to the intimum maris authoritatici “noble authorities in secret”, and after these eugenii “nobles” had plausis “approved”, and inter mare alipes inculcabant “among the men swiftly enforced” it, the Tyrians would go on to possess the land.

The rest is world history: We now live in a world ruled by secretive Phoenicians.

#### History of Rome 1.1.d

> Encrypted: Usually, they came in intimacy & secrecy to the local noble authorities in secret. And after convincing these nobles, who among the other men could swiftly force an approval, it all began and the Tyrians went to possess the lands.

### The people as a whole are called Phoenicians.

The literal text seems to say that many peoples & places in Italy are named after the immigrating Trojans, even though the people there as a whole are called Veneti.

The encrypted text seems to say that many peoples & places in Italy are named after the secretly invading Tyrians, and that those people as a whole are called Phoenicians.

I haven’t found any places in Italy though, that are named like “Troy” or “Tyre”. They may have since been renamed, to cover it up. It’s possible that the authors mean the Tyrrhenian sea, or Turin, or the Taurini, or the Tyrrhenoi, a Greek term for Etruscans.

#### History of Rome 1.1.e

### They advanced from merchants to allies to enslavers.

The literal story now switches to Aeneas, who steers towards “even greater affairs”. He goes from Macedoniam “Macedonia” to Siciliam “Sicilia” to the Laurentem ager “lands of Laurentum”.

The encrypted text seems to tell how for the aeneas “bronze” mining, “even greater affairs” are needed. The Tyrians go from being merce donem “givers of merchandise” to socialium “allies” to loramentum ager “bondage of the land”.

#### History of Rome 1.1.f

> Encrypted: The bronze by similar mischief to conquer it they advanced, but towards even greater business to initiate it they considered this enterprise. They first as givers of merchandise came, from there into allies they obtained this role by persuasion and gifts. From allied armed forces towards bondage of the land they obtained this position.

> Official: Aeneas, from similar calamities of his house he fled, but towards even greater events to initiate them he was led by fate. He first to Macedonia came, from there to Sicily in his quest for settlement he was carried. From Sicily his fleet towards Laurentum the land he kept his course.

### The ultra-rich Tyrians can plunder freely, as their armies are undefeatable.

Here the literal text says that the egressi Troiani “Trojans came out”, and because of their immenso prope errore “immense previous wanderings”, it’s that nihil praeter arma et naves superesset “nothing but their arms & ships were left over”, so they “plundered from the land”.

The encrypted text says that the egressi Tyriani “Tyrians are superior”, because of their immenso proprie aerarie “immense property of bronze treasures”, it’s that nihil praeter arma et naves superasset “nothing surpasses their armies & ships”, so they “plunder from the land”.

This is an insanely important section to understand Phoenician power. Official history texts admit they had a near-monopoly on tin and therefore on bronze. Only those texts never say what they did with it, and imply they just dutifully traded it for their customers. But no one has a monopoly on military material without using it for themselves. And the Phoenicians did, and conquered the world with it. Many people speculate how the spooks came to power with finance & deception. But those are cheap & brittle secondary tools. Military goons-with-sticks power always came first!

This paragraph is also odd in that they “plunder freely”, while the previous paragraphs said that brute force didn’t quite succeed, and they needed a disguise. It may that they could defeat anyone on the coast, but for smooth mining operations they needed total control over the entire country.

#### History of Rome 1.1.g

## Local ruler joins Tyrians as traitor

### The native ruler secretly joins the betrayal and lets the foreigners in.

Here the literal text says that king Latinus of the natives, to arcendam vim “prevent the assault”, takes his “forces out of the city”, and concurrunt “fights” in the “land”. Then he is either “conquered in battle” and afterwards makes pacem “peace” with Aeneas, as is tradunt “recounted”. Or just when the “battle lines” are standing, he procedo “advances” towards the foreigners to “summon” them to parlay.

So the local ruler enters into a pact with the invaders, after or even before he fights them. This pretty much also works for the secret story, with the slight variation that “Latinus” puns with “secret”:

It probably says that some native king latens “secretly” even arcendam vim “protects the assault” of the invaders, takes his “forces out of the city”, and concurrunt “concurs” that they enter the “land”. He either does this because he has already been “conquered in battle” and has been pacem “pacified” by the aeneas “bronze” traders, becoming a tradunt “traitor”. Or as above, when the “battle lines” are standing, he goes to procedo “meet” with the foreigners, probably having been “summoned” by them.

There may be more puns in the last paragraph, but I haven’t found any convincing match yet. In any case, the important difference to the literal story is that the pact with the invaders is “secret”.

### The local ruler inquires about resources, profits & growth under Tyrian rule.

Here the local ruler “inquires” what mortalis “mortals” the invaders are, and what casu profecti domo “accident to go from their house” had befallen them. He learns that they are Troianos “Trojans”, that their leader is Aeneas son of Anchisae et Veneris “Anchises & Venus”, that their cremata patria domo “home in the fatherland was burned”, and that they were profugus “fugitives”.

In the secret story of Rome, the local ruler “inquires” what raw materialis “materials” the invasion is about, and what casu profecti domo “opportunity for profit in conquest” exists here. He learns that they are Tyrianos “Tyrians”, that their leaders are aeneas “bronze” traders, probably of nancisci et venus “acquiring & selling”, that they bring crementa patra domo “growth in executing rulership”, and that this is very proficuus “profitable”.

(The only word I’m not sure about is the city Laurentum, named after laurel. It may be meant literally, or as “victory”. The only similar word I found is loramentum “thong”, with derived meanings like “leash” & “whip”.)

## Tyrians rule Italy in secret

### Phoenician traders then rule in secret, and use domestic people for mining.

In the official story, Aeneas is then held in “hospitality”. King Latinus added a domesticus “domestic” treaty to the publico “public” one before his Penates deos “household gods”, and adiunxisse “joins” these foedus “treaties”. He also grant his filia “daughter” to Aeneas, in matrimonium “matrimony”.

In the encrypted story, the aeneas “bronze” traders are then held in “hospitality”. The local ruler latens “secretly” gives the domesticus “domestic” publico “people” to the Phoenices dives “rich Phoenicians”, to be adiunxisse “harnessed” for fodies “mining” the ores. He probably also uses this falli “trick” to grant the aeneas “bronze” traders the general moderemini “management”.

### The bronze traders found a city, and name their project “cover-up”.

In the literal story, the Troianis “Trojans” now feel that they can finally finio “finish” their erroris “wanderings”, and establish a stable settlement. Aeneas names it after his uxoris “wife”: Lavinium. Shortly after, a new stirpis “stock” is born with their son, whom the parents name Ascanius.

In the literal story, the Tyrianis “Tyrians” now feel that they can finally finio “appoint” for their aerariis “bronze” mining a stable settlement. The aeneas “bronze” traders name it after their exerceris “project”, probably as levi / linam “cover”. Shortly after, a new kind of strophes “hoax” is born out of this, which the inventors probably name scaenis “scene” / “public view”, as opposed to the secret one.

#### History of Rome 1.1.p

### Disguises make Tyrians similar to Natives, transport is hidden.

In the literal story, a bello “war” is waged on Natives & Trojans simul “simultaneously”, by Turnus, ruler of the Rutulorum “Rutulians”, who had made a marriage pact before the arrival of Aeneas, and was now aeger patior “suffering hardship”. But no acies “party” comes out of this too laeta “happy”: The Rutuli “Rutulians” are victi “defeated”, but the leader of the Latinum “Latins” is amisere “lost”.

In the secret story, a velo “veil” is used to make Natives & Tyrians similis “similar”. It’s probably because a Tyrianus “Tyrian” ruler who had been rettuleram “officially known” before the arrival of the aeneas “bronze” traders would aegre patior “hardly be suffered”. So no acies “sight” could come out of this as too laeta “prosperous”: Instead, there is a rettuli “withdrawal” of the vecti “transport shipping” of the ores, and only the leaders who are latentium “hidden” are admisere “admitted” aboard.

Note: The exact meaning is unclear, as Turnus puns with Tyrianus “Tyrian” and also with inturnus “domestic”. And rettuli means “announcing” and also “withdrawing”. But the overall meaning should be clear, especially since the literal text says a foreigner is placed before a local: It’s all about concealing the invasion, by disguising the foreign invaders as locals.

#### History of Rome 1.2.a

> Encrypted: A veil then for the natives and the Tyrians to be similar was made. That a Tyrian ruler would be announced whose appointment to elevation before the invasion of the bronze traders had been made, would show & display himself as a foreigner from Tyre, hardly this would be permitted, so at once for the bronze traders who were hidden a veil was introduced.

> Official: War then on the native Aborigines and the Trojans simultaneously was made. Turnus, the king of the Rutulians who a pact for the hand of Lavinia before the arrival of Aeneas had made, and when preferred to himself was a foreigner, sadness he suffered, and simultaneously on Aeneas and Latinus war he brought.

### Tyrians hide behind powerful Etruscans, who are willing partners.

In the literal story, Turnus confugio “flees” to the powerful Etruscan ruler Mezentius, who rules in a wealthy town. He has been minime laetus “little pleased” by the start of the new city. So he joins them “not unwilling as a partner in arms”.

In the literal story, the Tyrians confusio “mingle” with powerful Etruscan rulers, probably those who are already mansuetus “tamed”, who then rule with their wealth. Those local rulers have munimus laetus “fortified their wealth” through the start of the new city. So they join them “not unwilling as partners in arms”.

### To make the people trust their foreign rulers, all are called “Latins”.

Almost no punnery is needed here: The rulers make the people address both locals & foreigners as “Latins”, to strengthen unity and generate trust in the foreign rulers. Generally, that’s not a bad thing, only its very often used to conceal an undercover invasion to loot local resources. It does make a difference where the wealth is going.

### Still there are rumours about their power in Etruria, so the Tyrians rule in secret.

Almost no punnery is needed here: Rumours about a power in Italy persist everywhere. Only in the secret story, it’s not the native Etruscan king, but the Tyrians.

In the literal story, the last battle is won by Latinus & Aeneas, though it is his ultimum operum “last labor”, and he dies, honored by iuris fasque “human & divine law”.

In the encrypted story, the war is won latens “secretly” by the aeneas “bronze” traders, though it’s an ultimum operum “extreme performance” by irrisus faciesque “mockery & appearances”.

> Encrypted: Following from there, the conflict was won secretly by the bronze traders, though an extreme performance in transforming it was. Positioned they were now, to whatever it may be, to govern by the expression and appearance which was upon the hostile subjects, “to please the natives” they called it.

> Official: Following from there, the battle was won by the Latins and by Aeneas, even though his final labor as a mortal it was. Laid down he was, whatever of him to say it by human law or divine law he was, above the Numicus river, and Jupiter “like a god” Indiges “in need” they called him.
