According to Greek mythology, Camilla was a member of the Volsci, an Italic tribe. Her parents were King Metabus and Casmilla. According to Virgil's Aeneid, Metabus was dethroned by his people and forced to flee. He grabbed his daughter and as the Volsci chase him, he fears for Camilla, attaches her to his spear and flings both across the River Amasenus and then swam across and got her. Later Camilla joins with Turnus, king of the Rutuli, and they fight against Aeneas and his followers who have fled Troy after the Trojans lose to the Greeks in the Trojan War. In this illustration that dates to around 1900, Camilla engages with the son of Aunus, who is fighting with the Trojans. The son of Aunus had chnallenged Camilla to fight on foot rather than from a horse. What exactly happens, Virgil does not say.
