	Lucius Tarquinius Priscus - LoveToKnow 1911
		The legend of Tarquinius Priscus is in the main a reproduction of those of Romulus and Tullus Hostilius.
		His Corinthian descent, invented by the Greeks to establish a close connexion with Rome, is impossible for chronological reasons; further, according to the genuine Roman tradition, the Tarquinii were of Etruscan, not Greek, origin.
		There seems to have been originally only one Tarquinius; later, when a connected story of the legendary period was constructed, two (distinguished as the "Elder" and the "Proud") were introduced, separated by the reign of Servius Tullius, and the name of both was connected with the same events.

		Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, called Tarquin II for short, king of Rome, son of Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, and son-in-law of Servius Tullius, immediately succeeded the latter without any election, and proceeded at once to repeal the recent reforms in the constitution, seeking to establish a pure despotism in their place.
		His reign was characterised by bloodshed and violence; the outrage of his son Sextus Tarquinius upon Lucretia precipitated a revolt, which led to the expulsion of the entire family, after Tarquin had reigned twenty-five years.
		All efforts to force his way back to the throne were in vain, and he died a lonely and childless old man at Cumae in Etruria.

	Discourses, by Niccolo Machiavelli (bk3ch4) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		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 it will be seen how Tarquinius Priscus was deceived by the seemingly legal possession of that Kingdom, it having been given to him by the people and confirmed by the Senate.
		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.

	The origin of the names Prisk and Priske.
		Tarquinius was the guardian of the sons of the fourth king of Rome, Ancus Marcius (reigned 641-616 BC), and supplanted them on the death of their father.
		Public works attributed to Tarquinius were the construction of the great sewers, called cloacae; the laying out of the Circus Maximus; and the founding of the temple of the Roman deity Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill.
		Now as you have written Priscus was the 5th King of Rome, by 509BC the monarchy is overthrown so obviously St Priscus and Lucius Tarquinius Priscus are completely different people.
