TIBERINUS

one of the mythical kings of Alba, son of Capetus, and father of Agrippa, is said to have been drowned in crossing the river Alba, which was hence called Tiberis after him, and of which he became the guardian god.

According to Virgil's Aeneid, he helped Aeneas in his travel from Troy, suggested him to land in Latium and gave him much other precious advice. With Manto, Tiberinus was the father of Ocnus. (Aeneid, X, 198ff).
