Le Morte de Romulo

Postea Romulo divideva le romanos a in classes social. Ille seligeva pro le senato 100 (cento) homines, que ille appellava "patres" a causa de lor etate e prestigio. Ille divideva le plebe a in trenta tribos, e dava a illos le nomines del mulieres capturate.

In le trentessime septime anno de su regno, quando ille inspectava le armea, un tempestate subitemente erumpeva con multe ruito, e Romulus disappareva ex le vista de omnes. Alicunos credeva que ille esseva occidite per le senatores, e alteres credeva que ille vadeva via pro junger se inter le deos.

Post le morte de Romulo il habeva un anno de interregno. Tunc Numa Pompilio, qui viveva in le citate Cures, deveniva le rege. Ille non gereva ulle guerras ma esseva utile a Roma de altere manieras proque ille dava leges al romanos e establiva diverse ritos religiose pro amollir lor mores barbare e belicose. Ille mandava que omne se faceva in le nomine de su conjuge Egeria, un nympha. Ille moriva de un maladia grave in le quarantesime tertie anno de su regno.

Tullo Hostilio

Tullo Hostilio, succedeva Numa. Post devenir le rege, ille comenciava un guerra contra le albanos. Per fortuna il habeva in ambe armeas fratres trigemine, simile in lor aetates e lor capacitates bellic.

Le tres Horatios esseva romanos; e le tres Curiatios, albanos. Le duo populos negotiava un tractato providente que un battalia inter le Horatios e le Curatios deciderea qui esseva le victores final del guerra.

Post le conclusion del tractato le trigeminos prendeva lor armas e vadeva inter le duo armeas, que esseva sedite a lor duo lateres. On da le signo e le sex juvenes, lor gladios scintillante, lucta vigorosemente.

In le prime battalia duo ex le Horatios cade e mori, e le Albanos crita con grande placer. Le tertio Horatio tamen emergeva illese, ma le tres Curatios esseva vulnerate.

Assi, Horatio, pro distraher su tres opponentes, fugiva ex illes. Post su fuga ille videva que un ex le Curatios non esseva multo distante de ille, e ille tunc le attaccava vigorosemente e facilemente le superava.

Tunc un altere Curatio cadeva ante que su fratre poteva adjuvar le. Le tertie remaneva; ma ille, fatigate a causa de su vulneres, esseva facilemente occidite per Horatio. Tunc le romanos jubilante recipe Horatio e le duce a su focar.

Tullio Hostilio, a causa de un conspiration de Mettio Fufetio, conquireva Alba. Post regnar pro trenta e duo annos, un colpo de fulmine le occideva durante que su casa ardeva.

Anco Marcio

Post Tullo Hostilio Anco Marcio deveniva le rege. Iste homine usava le guerra pro domar le romanos, ampliava le urbe, e lo circumfereva con nove muros. Ille construeva le prime carcere. Al ostio del Tibere ille fundava un urbe, que ille appellava Ostia. In le vintesime quarte anno de su regno ille moriva a causa de un morbo grave.

Tunc deveniva le rege Lucio Tarquinio Prisco, le filio de Demarato, qui habeva venite a in Etruria post fugir le tyrannos de su patria, Corintho. Durante que ille se approximava a Roma, un aquila portava via su bonetto e postea lo reponeva nettemente sur su capite. Assi Tanaquil, su sponsa, un experto in le augurio, comprendeva que ille esseva destinate a regnar.

Al senatores, que Romulo habeva create, ille addeva cento alteres, le quales es cognoscite como le "patres de gentes minor". Ille gereva plure guerras con successo, e annexava al urbe multe agros, post expeller ex illos gentes hostil. Ille construeva cloacas e comenciava le construction del capitolio. In le trentesime octave anno de su regno ille esseva occidite.

Post Anco Marcio devenia le rege Servio Tullio, cuje matre esseva un femina nobile ma anque un captiva e un serva. Durante que ille esseva elevate in le focar de Tarquinio Prisco, un flamma se videva in su capite. A causa de iste portento, Tanaquil comprendeva que ille esseva specialmente talentose e persuadeva su marito a educar le como si ille esseva un de lor prorpie filios.

Post que Prisco Tarquinio esseva occidite, Tanaquil diceva al populo que le rege habeva essite vulnerate ma non seriemente e que illes, durante que le rege convalesceva, debeva obedir Servio Tullio. Assi, Servio comenciava a regnar e administrava le imperio multo ben. Ille annexava tres montes al urbe e organisava le prime censo. Sub ille Roma habeva octanta e tres milles de civitates, includente illes qui esseva in le agros. Ille esseva occidite a causa de un conspiration del filias de Tullio e Tarquinio.

Postea Romulus civitatem descripsit. Centum senatores legit, eosque cum ob aetatem tum ob reverentiam eis debitam "patres" appellavit. Plebem in triginta curias distribuit, easque mulierum raptarum nominibus appellavit.

Anno regni tricesimo septimo, cum exercitum lustraret, subito coorta est tempestas cum magno fragore, et Romulus e conspectu omnium ablatus est. Hinc alii eum a senatoribus interfectum esse, alii ad deos sublatum esse existimaverunt.

Post Romuli mortem unius anni interregnum fuit. Deinde Numa Pompilius, qui in urbe Curibus habitabat, rex creatus est. Hic vir bellum quidem nullum gessit; nec minus tamen civitati profuit. Nam et leges dedit, et sacra plurima instituit, ut populi barbari et bellicosi mores molliret. Omni autem, quae faciebat, se nymphae Egeriae, coniugis suae, iussu facere dicebat. Morbo grave decessit quadragesimo tertio imperi anno.

Numae successit Tullus Hostilius. Rex creatus Albanis bellum induxit. Tum forte in utroque exercitu erant trigemini fratres, et aetate et viribus pares.

Tres Horatii erant Romani; tres Curiatii, Albani. Inter duos populos foedus ictum est ea condicione, ut Horatii cum Curiatiis ferro dimicarent atque id certamen bellum finiret.

Icto foedere trigemini arma ceperunt et in medium inter duas acies processerunt. Considerant utrimque duo exercitus. Signum datur et sex iuvenes micantibus gladiis acriter concurrunt.

Primo concurso duo Horatii exspirantes cadunt, quam ob rem Albani magno gaudio conclamant. Tertius Horatius tamen erat integer, sed tres Curiatii erant vulnerati.

Itaque Horatius, ut tres hostes distraheret, fugam capit. Iam aliquantum spati aufugerat videtque unum Curatium haud procul ab sese abesse. In eum magno impetu redit et eum facile superat.

Tum alterum Curatium caedit priusquam ei frater auxilium ferre potest. Superest tertius; sed ille, vulneribus defessus, facile ab Horatio interficitur. Tum Romani ovantes Horatium accipiunt et domum deducunt.

Tullus Hostilius propter Metti Fufeti perfidiam Albam diruit. Cum triginta duos annos regnavisset, fulmine ictus cum domo sua arsit.

Post Tullum Hostilium, Ancus Marcius suscepit imperium. Hic vir Latinos bello domuit, urbem ampliavit, et ei nova moenia circumdedit. Carcerem primus aedificavit. Ad Tiberis ostia urbem condidit, Ostiamque vocavit. Vicesimo quarto anno imperi morbo grave obiit.

Deinde regnum Lucius Tarquinius Priscus accepit, filius Demarati, qui tyrannos patriae Corinthi fugiens in Etruriam venerat. Dum ad urbem appropinquat, aquila ei pilleum abstulit, et postquam alte evolavit, capiti apte reposuit. Hinc Tanaquil coniunx, mulier auguriorum perita, regnum ei portendi intellexit.

Senatoribus, quos Romulus creaverat, centum alios addidit, qui "patres minorum gentium" sunt appellati. Plura bella feliciter gessit, ac multos agros, hostibus ademptos, urbis territorio adiunxit. Cloacas fecit. Capitolium incohavit. Tricesimo octavo imperi anno occisus est.

---

Post Ancum Marcium Servius Tullius suscepit imperium, genitus ex nobile femina, captiva tamen et famula. Cum in domo Tarquini Prisci educaretur, flamma in eius capite visa est. Hoc prodigio Tanaquil ei summam dignitatem portandi intellexit, et coniugi persuasit, ut eum sicuti filios suos educaret. Cum adolevisset, rex ei filiam in matrimonium dedit.

Cum Priscus Tarquinius occisus esset, Tanaquil populum allocuta est, dicens regem grave quidem sed non letale vulnus acepisse; eum petere, ut populus, dum convaluisset, Servio Tullio oboediret. Sic Servius regnare coepit, et bene imperium administravit. Montes tres urbi adiunxit. Primus omnium censum ordinavit. Sub eo Roma habuit capitum octoginta tria milia civium Romanorum cum his, qui in agris erant. Interfectus est scelere filiae Tulliae et Tarquini Superbi.

Afterwards Romulus divided the Romans into social classes. He selected 100 (one hundred) men for the senate, who he called "fathers" because of their age and prestige. He divided the people into thirty tribes and gave them the names of the women that had been captured.

In the thirty-seventh year of his reign, while he was inspecting the army, a storm suddenly broke out, and Romulus disappeared from everyone's sight. Some believe that the senators killed him, while others thought that he had gone away to take his place among the gods.

After Romulus's death there was a one-year period of interregnum. Then Numa Pompilius, who had lived in Cures, a nearby town, became the king. He did not start any wars but was useful to Rome in other ways because he gave laws to the Romans and established various religious rites to soften their barbarous and warlike ways. He ordered everything to be done in the name of his wife, Egeria, a nymph. He died of a grave illness in the forty-third year of his reign.

Tullus Hostilius assumed the throne after Numa. After becoming king, he started a war against the Albani. As things turned out, each army had a group of triplets, both similar in their ages and fighting skills.

The three Horatii were Romans; and the three Curiatii, Albani. The two peoples negotiated a treaty providing that a battle between the Horatii and the Curatii would decide who would be the final victors in this war.

Once the agreement was concluded, the twins took up their arms and went between the two armies, which were seated on the sides of both of them.

After the sign was given, two of the Horatii fell down and died, and the Albani cried out in great joy. The third Horatius, however, came out of the battle uninjured, but the three Curatii were wounded.

And so, Horatius, to distract his three opponents, ran away from them. After fleeing from them he saw that one of the Curatii was not very far away from him, and he then attacked him vigorously and easily defeated him.

Then another Curatius fell before his brother could help him out. One was left over; but he, exhausted from his wounds, was easily killed by Horatius. The Romans broke out in cheers and surrounded Horatius and escorted him home.

Tullius Hostilius, because of a conspiracy by Mattius Fufetius, conquered Alba. After reigning for thirty-three years, he was killed by a lightning bolt while his house burned up.

After Tullus Hostilius Ancus Marcius became the king. This man subdued the Romans through warfare, expanded the city, and surrounded it with new walls. He built the first jail. At the mouth of the Tiber he founded a city, which he called Ostia. In the twenty-fourth year of his reign he died because of a grave illness.

Then Tarquinius Priscus, the son of Demaratus became the king. He had come to Etruria after running away from Corinthus, the tyrant of his country. As he approached Rome, an eagle snatched away his cap and afterwards neatly placed it back on his head. So Tanaquil, his wife, an expert on augury, understood that he was chosen to be the king.

He added one hundred new members to the Senate, which Romulus had created. They were known as the "fathers of the minor tribes." He waged several wars successfully and added many agricultural fields to the city after expelling hostile tribes from them. He built sewers and started the construction of the capitolium. He was killed in the twenty-eighth year of his reign.

After Ancus Marcius Servius, Tullius became king. He was born of a noble women who had nonetheless been captured and was a slave. While he was being reared in the home of Tarquinius Priscus, a flame was seen in his head. Because of this portent Tanaquil understod that he was especially gifted and persuaded her husband to educate him as if he were one of their own children.

After Priscus Tarquinius was killed, Tanaquil told the people that the king had been wounded but not seriously and that they should obey Servius Tullius while the king was recovering. As a result, Servius started to reign and did a good job of running the kingdom. He annexed three mountains to the city and organized the first census. Under him Rome had eight hundred three thousand citizens, including the ones in the agricultural fields. He was killed because of a conspiracy of the daughters of Tullia and Tarquinus Superbus.
