Abstract
Ancient Trojan referees established a colony in Italy circa 1178 BCE. Historiography and conceptual analysis of the writings of ancient and modern historians, and current archaeological discoveries is used in this study. Troy existed in the 12th century CE. The Trojan War and the voyage of Aeneas, and his settlement in Italy, are supported by ancient historians, while unsupported by current archaeological discoveries. We conclude based on a preponderance of the evidence, especially the work of ancient historians, that it was more likely than not, that the voyage and settlement of Aeneas in Italy happened.
