		The origin of Tarquinii is wrapt in the mists of fable.
		It may be, however, that the legend of Tarquin's migration to Rome and his attainment of the kingly power are merely significant of the conqust of that city by an Etruscan prince, who introduced the institutions of his country, and made her the capital of a powerful state in connection with the national Confederation.

		Tarquinius appears as a Greek tyrant of the ordinary kind, who surrounds himself with a bodyguard and erects magnificent buildings to keep the people employed; on the other hand, an older tradition represents him as more like Romulus.
		The stratagem by which Tarquinius obtained possession of the town of Gabii is a mere fiction, derived from Greek and Oriental sources.
		A constitutional revolution, involving such far-reaching changes, is not likely to have been carried out in primitive times with so little disturbance by a simple resolution of the people, and it probably points to a rising of Romans and Sabines against the dominion of an Etruscan family (Tarquinii, Tarchna) at that time established at Rome.

		As Tarquinii carried on an extensive commerce with foreign countries, yet was situated some miles from the sea, she must have had a port.

		A nostro avviso, il fatto che le antiche strade confluissero primariamente sul colle di Cornetum, piuttosto che su quello della vicina Tarquinii, richiama alla mente, la funzione di centro di riunioni federali che i colli e la città di Corythus o Corinthus (Cornetum?) assumono nella tradizione virgiliana (vedi ultra).

		As he had come to Tarquinii to spend all his days, Demaratus married a lady of the place, and she became the mother of a son, Lucomo.
		When this young man grew up, he found that, though a native of the city, he was looked upon as a foreigner on his father's account, and that, though he belonged to a family of the highest rank and wealth through his mother's connections, he was excluded from political power and influence.
		He had inherited the love of authority that had possessed his father's ancestors, and as his father had migrated from home to gain peace, he felt no reluctance in leaving Tarquinii in the hope of gaining the power he thought his wealth and pedigree entitled him to.
