According to Livy, when Aeneas first arrived on Italian shores and entered the aboriginal kingdom of Latinus, the two leaders immediately established friendly relations. Latinus "by extending his right hand [to Aeneas], sanctified the good faith of the friendship that would be" (dextra data fidem futurae amicitiae sanxisse)"-- UR - http://site.ebrary.com/lib/daystar/Doc?id=10520667 ER -
