	Servius Tullius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Servius Tullius was the sixth legendary king of ancient Rome, and the second king of the Etruscan dynasty.
		Servius, it seems, had been a warrior rather than a slave, as slaves are not trained in the arts of war or diplomacy, unless they are to enter some special corps, such as the Turkish Janissaries.
		Servius Tullius is often accused in retrospect of being a militarist on the grounds that he organized society along military lines.

	Maurus Servius Honoratius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the grammatical interpretation of his author's language, Servius does not rise above the stiff and overwrought subtleties of his time; while his etymologies, as is natural, violate every law of sound and sense.
		As a literary critic the shortcomings of Servius, judged by a modern standard, are, great, but he shines in comparison with his contemporaries.
		The Essai sur Servius by E Thomas (1880) remains an elaborate and valuable examination of all matters connected with Servius; many points are treated also by O Ribbeck in his Prolegomena to Virgil; see also a review of Thilo's edition by H Nettleship in Journal of Philology, 10 (1882).

	Chapter 14. The Succession to the Kingdom in Ancient Latium Page 1
		Now it is very remarkable that though the first king of Rome, Romulus, is said to have been descended from the royal house of Alba, in which the kingship is represented as hereditary in the male line, not one of the Roman kings was immediately succeeded by his son on the throne.
		The king would be a man of another clan, perhaps of another town or even of another race, who had married a daughter of his predecessor and received the kingdom with her.
		If at the birth of the Latin kings their fathers were really unknown, the fact points either to a general looseness of life in the royal family or to a special relaxation of moral rules on certain occasions, when men and women reverted for a season to the licence of an earlier age.

		King Servius Tullius (c 550 BC) introduced census reforms similar to those of Solon in Athens.
		The members of the Senate, the patres, or patricians (all those who claimed descent from members of the Senate of the kings) informed the citizenry that since they were descended from the gods, it was necessary that "patricians" alone be allowed to hold this high office.
		Since by now as a result of the urban development of the Etruscan kings Rome was the largest city in all Italy, it had developed a complex society with numerous wealthy plebeian (non senatorial) families.

		Having hastily summoned Servius, after she had shown him her husband almost at his last gasp, holding his right hand, she entreated him not to suffer the death of his father-in-law to pass unavenged, nor to allow his mother-in-law to be an object of scorn to their enemies.
		Servius came forth wearing the trabea[38], and attended by lictors, and seating himself on the king's throne, decided some cases, and with respect to others pretended that he would consult the king.

		A kind of amalgamation of the patricians and the plebs afterwards appeared in the comitia of the centuries, instituted by king Servius Tullius, and henceforth the term populus was applied to the united patricians and plebeians assembled in the comitia centuriata.
		But Servius had also made a local division of the whole Roman territory into thirty tribes, which held their meetings in assemblies called comitia tributa, which, in the course of time, acquired the character of national assemblies, so that the people thus assembled were likewise designated by the term populus.
		They were convened, in the kingly period, by the king himself, or by his tribunus celerum, and in the king's absence by the praefectus urbi.

		The final apotheosis, which represented the kings not merely as sprung from gods but as themselves deities incarnate, would be much facilitated if in their lifetime, as we have seen reason to think, they had actually laid claim to divinity.
		The king would be given a start; he ran and his competitors ran after him, and if he were overtaken he had to yield the crown and perhaps his life to the lightest of foot among them.
		At both places the sacred kings, the living representatives of the godhead, would thus be liable to suffer deposition and death at the hand of any resolute man who could prove his divine right to the holy office by the strong arm and the sharp sword.
