	Mucius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Porsena was impressed (or possibly intimidated) by Mucius' resolve and lack of fear.
		Mucius proved his bravery by placing his right hand in a fire and telling Lars Porsena that he "inspires fear, but feels none." He also told Porsena that even if he should die, the Romans would continue to send man after man, each of whom would attempt another assassination.
		Subsequently, Lars Porsena released Mucius for his amazing courage.

	Lars Porsena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lars Porsena (sometimes spelled Lars Porsenna) was an Etruscan king known for his war against the city of Rome.
		None of the accounts suggest that Lucius Tarquinius Superbus was returned to the throne, however, perhaps indicating that if Lars Porsena did indeed capture Rome, he did so with the intent of controlling it himself, not restoring the former dynasty.
		Porsena's tomb is described as having a 15 m high rectangular base with sides 90 m long.

		It was said that the heroism of such Romans as Horatius and Scaevola moved him to grant honorable terms of peace and to withdraw.

	Lars Porsena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The archeological site of Gonfienti may turn out to be a part of ancient Clusium, believed to be the largest city in Italy before Rome.
		According to most mainstream Roman accounts, including those of Livy, Lars Porsena arrived at Rome, but was sufficiently impressed by Roman bravery (see Mucius, Horatius) in defending the city that he chose to make peace.
		Other accounts, however, suggest that Lars Porsena actually succeeded in capturing the city, and that the Etruscans were only driven out some time afterwards.

		Lars spends the majority of his time outside when his human is away at school during the day.

		One day, Kafka introduced Lars to his friend Manx so that when she passed through his backyard (it's a major thoroughfare for stray cats) he wouldn't snap at her.
