I'm also a person who lives on the site management, so I'm not ignorant of search volume and SEO. So I know that there is no access to the summary of Roman Kingdom.
But that's not the relationship!

The first Etruscan King of the Romans
In Yamakawa's textbooks and glossaries, the Romans were supposed to be independent of Etruscan, but in fact there was also an Etruscan king in Rome.
That is the fifth king, "Tarquinius Prisco".
However, Tarwisk was not a so-called pure-bred Etruscan, but his father was Greek and his mother was Etruscan. It is interesting that half of both races become kings in Rome, which is sandwiched between the northern and southern powers.
Both Greece and Etruria are actually closed societies and are reluctant to absorb foreign molecules. That may be the cause of the decline of both peoples.
On the contrary, Rome has an ant tendency in a sense, and it seems that there is not much attention to origin and ethnicity. The good thing is that we Japanese also have a lot of things to do. Even though he is not a Christian, he celebrates Christmas, turns Halloween and Valentine's Day into events, and celebrates New Year's Day. Flexibility is a good thing about Japanese and Romans.
Talwisk was a rather ambitious person, unlike the Roman kings. He seems to have been quite rich in the first place. He is said to be the first electoral king in Rome.
Tarquinius, who became the executor of the will of the former king Anks, seems to have strongly wanted to become the king, perhaps as a reaction to his failure to gain political status in his homeland.
Tarquinius is said to have made a speech in front of the people about how he deserves a king. Partly because of that, the Plebeian Council said that the majority of them made him the next king, and the Senate followed suit.
Thus, the first Etruscan king was born to the Roman king, who was producing alternately Romans and Sabines.
Tarquinius's internal strategy and expedition
Unlike successive Roman kings, Tarquinius was a person who found great significance in his position.
He takes a strategy of doubling the number of senators as soon as he becomes the throne. Senators can be decided by the king, so it seems that they had the purpose of solidifying their position.
Rome is a regime in which the king, the Plebeian Council, and the Senate are separated, and Tarquinius has suppressed the Plebeian Council and the Senate.
With no internal worries, he embarks on an expedition.
While successive Roman kings relocated the inhabitants of the conquered land to Rome, he had a policy of relocating money from the conquered land. He also distributed those gold items to the people and made them popular, but he also made a large-scale development of Rome.
In particular, the large-scale sewage work and the start of Cloaca Maxima were significant, and the function of the Roman city was greatly improved.
The maintenance of his famous "Roman Forum" is also said to be his business.
According to folklore, he reclaimed wetlands, built stadiums and other facilities in the city of Rome one after another, and improved the roads.
There is also an opinion that it was the engineers called from Etruria who made these possible. I don't know the truth. After all, in Japan, it was around the time of Emperor Jimmu, so no detailed records are left.
However, from around this time, Rome was reborn as a large-scale commercial city from an agricultural city, and it seems certain that there was a dramatic economic development.
Tarquinius also built a temple dedicated to the great god Yupiteru, and it is said that he began to hold a triumphal ceremony at the time of victory.
Since then, a triumphal ceremony has been held every time a victory has been won, and in later times, a triumphal arch will be built, and various countries will hold parades. The parade will be held when the president of modern America takes office, and it can be said that the origin is Tarquinius.
Personal evaluation of Tarquinius Prisco
Although he was an ambitious man, it can be said that he was credited with his ambitions. His influence was enormous in that he not only laid the foundations of later Romans, but even created customs that continued to the present day.
In his time, the city was greatly developed and its armaments were greatly expanded. Rome transforms into a valuable city, but it also creates a new source of conflict.
