Tarquinius Spellbus is another name for "the magnificent Tarquinius", and his real name seems to be "Lucius Tarquinius".
He is rarely called by his real name. After all, there is no merit.
The magnificent Tarquinius
He is the real son of Tarquinius Prisco, the fifth king of the Roman kingdom, and the son-in-law of the sixth king, Servis Turius.
Two sons of the fifth generation Tarquinius and two daughters of the sixth generation Tarquinius got married, but for some reason they lost their spouses, and Tarquinius Spellbus and Princess Turia got married.
However, it seems that this Turia had seduced Tarquinius Superbus even before her husband died ...
It seems that this Turia wanted to make her husband the king. What did Tarquinius Superbus, who was tempted by her, get lost? It seems that her father-in-law, Servis Turius, was pushed down the stairs in front of the Senate. In addition, a thug of Servis Turius attacked it, and his daughter, Turia, pulled the former king, who was still breathing in folklore, by carriage ...
There are many people called villains in the history of the world, but I've never heard of him so far ...
Tarquinius Superbus, who became the king forcibly as it is, purges the Senate who is not obedient to himself and begins terrorism.
It's a bit too terrible because he forbade even the funeral of his father-in-law, the former king. Personally, I even think that it is intentionally badly handed down, but what about it?
He took the throne without the approval of the Senate or the Plebeian Council, and politicized exclusively without seeking policy advice.
Although he was a questionable king in terms of domestic affairs, he seems to have been talented in combat and basically won the foreign war.
Lucretia Incident
Tarquinius Superbus had a son. This was even worse than his father.
His son, Skustus Tarquinius, raped his married woman, Lucretia.
Lucretia is the nephew of Tarquinius Superbus, so it's a relative relationship ...
Lucretia sends a messenger to her father and her husband after the incident, she tells her truth in front of four men and she commits suicide.
No, I think I should stop with the four men, but aside from that, the whole country leans toward anti-Tarquinius Spellbus.
One of the four men, Unius Brutus, makes a speech in the center of Rome and begins to speak about the expulsion of the Tarquinius clan. The people responded, and Tarquinius Superbus was thus expelled from Rome.
The criminal of the case, Skustus Tarquinius, was murdered by a person who had a grudge in exile. He is a man who can never be saved.
Asylum and Siege of Rome
Although Tarquinius Superbus was expelled from Rome, his obsession with power was only for one person, and he was connected to the Etruscan forces and embarked on a war with Rome.
The Roman army won the battle of Silva Alicia, but it was defeated in the local battle and Rome was besieged for a while, but in the end it could not be attacked and eventually defeated in the battle on the shore of Lake Regillus, and asylum in disappointment. He died earlier.
Personal evaluation of Tarquinius Spellbus
Although it is common to all Kings of the Romans, it is uncertain whether their existence and achievements are true because they are folklore.
Or history may be like that.
As for Tarquinius Spellbus, I personally feel that it is intentionally badly said.
The monarchs of the late dynasty are destined to be badly written in the east and west.
After all, the new regime needs its own legitimacy, so it must take the form of expulsion of the evil monarch.
As is often the case in China, it cannot be said that it is not in Rome.
There is no doubt that he is not a talented person anyway.
But how does it compare to the later Roman emperors and the Chinese emperors?
