I think few people in Japan know the history of the Roman kingdom. It doesn't appear in textbooks anyway, and unlike Imperial Rome, it's not flashy.
I don't know about overseas!
However, if you take a closer look at this era, there are many interesting parts.
So today I would like to take a look at "Tullus Hostilius", the third king of the Kingdom of Rome.
To the Latin king again
The first Romulus is Latin, Numa is Sabines, and Tulus is also Latin.
When the Latins become kings, Rome becomes warlike. As you can see from Spain during the Age of Discovery later, the Latin people are relatively aggressive.
As soon as Tulus takes the throne, he begins a war that can be called a Latin national unification war.
Rome at this time was still only one tribe of the Latin people.
Tulus first attacked the Kingdom of Alba.
People who know about Romulus may be surprised, but it is said that Romulus was the birthplace of Romulus and had the right to inherit the Kingdom of Alba.
Tulus begins a war with Aruba because of a peasant conflict near the border.
However, there was a huge Etruscan kingdom near Rome at that time. If Aruba and Rome go to war, Etruria will benefit the fishermen.
The war between the two countries became a strange one, with a 3v3 duel settled.
Latin people like duels. Even if the duel between people disappears, I'm just watching the duel between cows and people.
It was Rome that won the duel. Of the six, only the swordfighter Horace survived, and the others were wiped out ...
Later, a arena will be built in Rome, but you may like to see and see the rabbits fighting in the corner.
The King of Alba began to make something like an anti-Roman coalition at the time of his birth and to make neighboring countries such as Fedenai and Veii hostile to Rome. Moreover, it seems that he was pretending to be an ally in Rome, so it can be said that it is a cowardly operation.
Since ancient times, cowards have never survived.
After defeating neighboring countries, Tulus attacked Aruba and quickly captured the king.
This King of Alba receives a capital punishment, the so-called horse version of the punishment for ripping cows. This is the first atrocities committed by Rome in history.
No Caesar without Tulus
Tulus completely destroyed Aruba. And he relocated the inhabitants to Rome.
What made Tulus so good was that he did not treat the Aruba people as slaves. The Aruba people who emigrated to Rome were given Roman citizenship, and some influential people were given aristocratic status.
At this time, the aristocratic status was given to the Quintirius, Servian, and Julia gens. The Julia gens later produced the famous Julius Caesar and became a person who changed the history of Rome and the history of the world.
After all, if you read the name of this man named Caesar in German, you will be Kaiser, if you read it in Russian, you will be a tsar.
Even though Caesar has never been an emperor, the name Caesar is given to the position called emperor.
Given that Caesar would not have appeared without Tulus's policies, Tulus could also be said to be a human being who changed history.
Personal evaluation of tulus
The achievements of Tulus are also very high in Rome as a whole. Rome became the Latin champion in substance during the Tulus era, and the annexation of Aruba led to a dramatic increase in population and tax revenues.
It was also during this period that Rome was obliged to serve in the military, and it grew into a military-powerful nation.
It may be said that this tulus has grown Rome from a city to a nation.
It can be said that the 34th year of Tulus's reign was a period of Roman leap.
