	Servius Tullius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Servius Tullius was the sixth legendary king of ancient Rome, and the second king of the Etruscan dynasty.
		What Servius did to correct the imbalance is to move the pomerium, the sacred boundary of the city, to add to the existing hill districts, thus completing the "Septimontium".
		Servius Tullius is often accused in retrospect of being a militarist on the grounds that he organized society along military lines.

		Marcellus, the former colleague of Servius in the consulship, was murdered at Peiraeeus during the government of Servius, who buried him in the gymnasium of the Academia, where a marble monument to his memory was raised.
		Our chief information about Servius is derived from Cicero, who attributes his great superiority as a lawyer to his study of philosophy, not that philosophy itself made him a distinguished lawyer, but the discipline, to which his mind had been subjected, developed and sharpened his natural talents.

	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).

		Presumably, then,the curiate assembly was the normal assembly of the early kingdom, and its power were then usurped by the centuriate assembly that was represented the men in the army and was based on its military units.
		The three tribes of Romulus were apparently based on blood descent.The new tribes were based on the place where one lived: Roman terrritory was divided into four urban tribes to cover those who lived in the city, and the countryside had 20 tribes.
		Servius changed his name--for in Etruscan it was Mastarna--and was called by the name I have used, and he obtained the throne to the greatest advantage of the state."

		He writes, "if this refers to the household gods of Dido, we understand that they were scattered by flight; if it refers to those of her brother, then they were defiled by his blood"(11).

		But it is not so with Servius; his wall and his constitution are very real and defy all attempts to turn their maker into a legend.
		And yet even this is not strictly correct, for Servius stands not so much for the coming into existence of certain facts, as for the recognition of the existence of these facts.
		It was customary namely to ascribe to Servius Tullius the introduction of the cult of Fortuna, and Plutarch takes occasion twice in his Moralia to describe the interest of Servius in this cult and to recount the extraordinary number of temples which he built to the great goddess of chance under her various attributes.

		indeed, my dear Servius, I would have wished—as you say—that you had been by my side at the time of my grievous loss.
		For not only was what you wrote calculated to soothe a mourner, but in offering me consolation you manifested no slight sorrow of heart yourself.

		Through its monograph series, the APA has been a sponsor of what is known as the Harvard Edition of Servius (although Harvard is in fact no longer connected to the project).
		With the death in the past few years of two of the three editors who were assigned parts of the remaining planned volumes, the APA Committee on Publications has been considering the future of the project.
		Editing Servius, as the recent panel has made us aware, is a tricky business, and prospective editors should provide clear evidence that they understand the problems involved and have a defensible method of meeting them.

	Ninth Oration Against Marcus Antonius by Cicero
		But though he was so very ill that if any exertion were added to his bad state of health, he would have no hope of himself, still he did not refuse to try, even while at his last gasp, to be of some service to the republic.
		But I, O conscript fathers, consider that this was the feeling of our ancestors, that they considered that it was the cause of death, and not the manner of it, which was a proper subject for inquiry.
		Therefore, O conscript fathers, if it had been chance which had caused the death of Servius Sulpicius, I should sorrow indeed over such a loss to the republic, but I should consider him deserving of the honor, not of a monument, but of a public mourning.

		At line 54, however, when Daphnis is referred to as puer, Servius notes that Caesar was not young enough when he died to deserve such an appellation.(33) This type of historical allegory is a matter of either historical knowledge or of personal interpretation, of either biographical coincidence or convienient exigencies.
		As a hermeneutic comparison Servius, in his proemium, contrasts the two terms allegorica and simplex.(37) The former he refers to Vergil's bucolic work and the latter to Theocritus'.

		As a jurist, Servius gave moral as well as legal advice; he was "not so much a counselor of law as of justice," who "never preferred initiating lawsuits to settling conflicts" (Phil.
		In these laudatory passages, Servius' expertise in law is joined with other merits in order to demonstrate Servius' overall brilliance and moral character.

		CHAPTER IV The death of Tarquinius Priscus caused by the sons of Ancus, and the death of Servius Tullus caused by Tarquinius Superbus, shows how difficult and perilous it is to despoil one of a Kingdom, and leave him alive, even though he should seek to win him over to himself by benefits.
		And without doubt Servius Tullus was little prudent to believe that the sons of Tarquinius would be content to be the sons-in-law of him, when they judged they ought to be the Kings.
		If, therefore, Tarquinius Priscus and Servius Tullus lost the kingdom by not knowing how to secure themselves from those whose [thrones] they had usurped, Tarquinius Superbus lost it by not observing the institution of the ancient Kings, as will be shown in the following chapter.
