## Bio

Servius Tullius reigned from 578 to 535 BC, the second king of Rome's Etruscan dynasty, though how he actually took power remains murky: some sources say he bypassed the Senate entirely with popular support after Lucius Tarquinius Priscus was assassinated in 579 BC, others that the Senate elected him alone. His backstory splits just as cleanly — Livy gives him a enslaved Latin mother and a divine father, a ring of fire appearing around the infant's head; the Emperor Claudius centuries later claimed he was really Mastarna, an Etruscan mercenary. What's clearer is what he did: fought Veii and the Etruscans, folded the Quirinal, Viminal, and Esquiline hills into the city, built temples to Fortuna and Diana, expanded citizenship over patrician opposition, and governed for 44 years. His daughter Tullia and son-in-law Lucius Tarquinius Superbus murdered him, and Tarquinius's subsequent arrogance as king got him expelled — opening the door to the Republic that Servius's reforms had already begun to sketch.
