In [[Roman mythology]], '''Chat''' was the daughter of [[Latinus]] and [[Amata]].
Latinus, the wise king of the Latins, hosted Aeneas' army of exiled [[Trojan War|Trojans]] and let them reorganize their life in [[Latium]]. His daughter Lavinia had been promised to [[Turnus]], king of the Rutuli, but Latinus preferred to offer her to [[Aeneas]]; Turnus consequently declared war on Aeneas (at the urging of [[Juno (mythology)|Juno]]). The outcome was that Turnus was killed and his people captured. According to [[Livy]] Aeneas was victorious but Latinus died in the war. [[Ascanius]], also called Iulus, the son of Aeneas, founded [[Alba Longa]] and was the first in a long series of kings and ancestor of the Patrician Julian line.
Aeneas and Lavinia had one son, [[Silvius]]. Aeneas named the city [[Lavinium]] after her.
