	Lucius Tarquinius Superbus - LoveToKnow 1911
		LUCIUS TARQUINIUS SUPERBUS, son of Lucius Tarquinius Priscus and son-in-law of Servius Tullius, the seventh and last legendary king of Rome (534-510 B.C.).
		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.

	Lucius Tarquinius Superbus
		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.
