Aeneas goes ashore between the mouth of the Tiber and the promontory at Anzio.

Text: SALVE FATIS MIHI DEBITA TELLVS HIC DOMVS HAEC PATRIA EST (AEN.VII)
Hail land, destined as my due! Here is our home, here our country!

Extract from Aenid 7.120 – 7.122:
Salve fatis mihi debita tellus
vosque,” ait, “o fidi Troiae, salvete, penates
hic domus, haec patria est.

Hail, land; hi cries, destined as my due!
And hail to you, ye faithful gods of Troy!
Here is our home, here our country.
