To reconcile the legend that the Romans descended from Trojans to the tradition that attributes to the condition of Roma colony of Alba Longa, the main city in Confederation America, and to bridge the gap between the supposed date of the Trojan War and the founding of Rome in the eighth century BC, invented a series of kings Albanians, the first of which would have been Ascanius son of Aeneas Amúlio, the last of the series, Numítor overthrew the legitimate king, and made of Rhea Silvia, the daughter of Numítor, a Vestal Virgin, preventing her from marrying. Meanwhile Rhea Silvia became the god Mars, the mother of two twins - Romulus and Remus.
Amúlio he killed his mother and threw the children into the river Tiber. Romulus and Remus were rescued and suckled by a wolf (perhaps the totem of a tribe Latin) to be discovered by real Faústulo pastor, who with his wife Larence Aca created them. The two were recognized incidentally, Amúlio dethroned and returned to the real power Numítor, then decided to found a new village the place where they were rescued from the river water. An omen taken from the flight of birds has determined that Romulus would be king of the new settlement. Romulus began to build a city on the Palatine Hill, Remus and showed his contempt for her jumping over the wall recently built, but then was killed by Romulus or one of his companions. Aiming to ensure women for his people Romulus invited the Sabines inhabitants of the surrounding regions to witness the games that were celebrating, and as these were held Romans kidnapped the Sabine women (the "Rape of the Sabine Women"). War broke out, and the Sabines led by Titus Tatius raided the Capitol, then an outpost of the city.
At this stage of events Tarpeian, daughter of the commander of Roman troops, ordered to surrender the citadel if the Sabines by treachery gave you that wore on his left arm, wanting to refer to her bracelets of gold, however when the Sabines erupted rewarded his betrayal by crushing it under their shells (in some versions, perhaps the source Sabina Tarpeian appears as a heroine). The Romans, who still remained firm in Palatine, reconciled with the Sabines, after some more fighting after the intervention of abducted women, and the two peoples began to live peacefully. Romulus disappeared shortly after, according to legend amid a storm with lightning, but ran the rumor that he had been shattered by his advisors. In keeping with tradition Rome was initially ruled by a succession of six other kings Numa Pompilio, Tulo Hostílio, Anco Marcio, Tarquinius Priscus, Tarquinius Serbian Tulio and Superb. The credibility of the legends relating to this period is scant, but the Romans accepted it and incorporated in its literature, some of whom seem to have developed from elements of religion and ritual later Roman and Greek influences others present in his invention, but the last three kings have obviously some historical basis.
According to the official chronology of the founding of Rome occurred in 753 BC The story of its origin Trojan is a fable, but the tradition that the city had to have been a colony founded by the Latins of Alba Longa may be true. This tradition was in their favor the position of the city near the sea and dominating the navigation on the river Tiber. There was a gradual expansion and perhaps infiltration of other peoples, especially Sabines. It was thought that the names of three tribes of ancient Rome - Ramnes, Titi and Luceres - accounted for three races from the Latin, Sabine and the Etruscan, and this tradition can correspond to reality. Apparently the king was appointed by a Interex Senate or elected by a council composed of the heads of real people or clans, which were clustered in families with a single ancestor and their dependents, this election was confirmed by the people gathered in assembly (comitia Curiati) of the thirty curiae, or territorial groups of families in which the population was divided.
members of noble families were called patricians, and the other as commoners. There were apparently numerous wars in the period of kings, thanks to which the Roman territory increased. Rome destroyed Alba Longa, according to legend Hostílio when Tulo was king, and at the time of Anco Marcio founded a colony at Ostia, near the mouth of the Tiber. During the reign of Tarquinius Priscus (known to believe in the stories an adventurer, half Greek and half Etruscan, who came to Rome to try their luck and won the throne) and his two successors, the Etruscan influence has become stronger in Rome . The Etruscans, a people powerful in terms of trade and industry, might have conquered Rome, or perhaps the Etruscan cities have accepted Tarquin as their king. Serbian Tullius, a man of humble origin, the town expanded, building on his back, according to tradition, the wall that it perpetuated the name.
The last kings of Rome probably also performed other important public works projects - the Cloaca Maxima, the temple of Jupiter on Capitol Hill, etc.. Attaches itself to Serbian Tulio certain administrative reforms, notably by some characteristics that persisted during the republican era. This king created the tribes originally thirty in number and finally increased to thirty-five tribes were territorial districts, and the census or registration of citizens and their property, and tributum or war tax on goods, is closely related with them. Moreover, Serbian Tullius divided the people into five classes in centurion, which for the most important effects have replaced the older curiae (fixed the number of the centurion in each class so as to give the preponderance of voting power in the assembly - the comitia centuriata voting for Centurion - the wealthy class).
Moreover these classes bore the brunt of taxes and military service. The reforms introduced by Serbian Tulio subsequently produced the political effect of replacing the birth by residence and wealth as qualifications for the exercise of political rights. According to tradition Superb Tarquin, the last of the kings of Rome, he consulted the oracle at Delphi about the plans establishment of a colony, a fact that illustrates the antiquity of the relations between Italy and Greece. The
Tarquins were banned and the monarchy ended in 510 BC, no doubt due to fighting between the kings and the patrician families. These struggles are reflected in the famous legend of Lucrece outrage. The period that ended this way, excluded from the legends that he transmitted to posterity, and his statements regarding the mixed blood of the older inhabitants of Rome, little influence in Roman literature. There is little in the early Roman rule that would lead us to think in terms of their ability in political and literary greatness.
