	Lucius Junius Brutus
		According to ancient sources, Brutus was the son of Marcus Junius and of a sister of Tarquinius Superbus.
		Brutus ran to the Forum, called the people to listen to his speech (it was his legal right as tribune of the Celers, and he could act on his own as long as the king was abroad) and proclaimed the abolishment of the Roman Monarchy and the enactment of the exile of the Tarquins.
		Therefore, the fact that Brutus was betrayed by his own sons - who wished to help the Etruscan monarchy to come back to Rome - is not to be regarded as strange (it was said that the conspiracy was revealed to Brutus by a slave named Vindex).
