Alba, the city of Romulus, the founder of Rome, was called so from a white sow found there by Æneas.—Vide Livy, lib. i
Cum tibi sollicito secreti ad fluminis undam
Litoreis ingens inventa sub illicibus sus,
Triginta capitum foetus enixa jacebit,
Alba, solo recubans, albi circum ubera nati:
Is locus urbis erit ei.
Virgil Æneid, lib. iii. v. 390.
When, in the shady shelter of a wood
And near the margin of a gentle flood,
Thou shalt behold a sow upon the ground,
With thirty sucking young encompassed round;
The dam and offspring white as falling snow:
These on thy city shall their name bestow, &c.
DRYDEN.
