History: Ancient societies - Rome

	Unit: Ancient societies - Rome
	After Rome was founded by Romulus, the city was ruled by a series of kings. These kings were chosen and advised by a council of elders, the senes. Of the seven kings who ruled Rome, the last three were Etruscans and were regarded with hatred by the Romans. The last king, Tarquinius Superbus, or Tarquin the Proud, was particularly hated by Romans. Tarquin the Proud came to power by throwing the previous king down the steps of the Senate House, killing him. He was a selfish tyrant who ignored the advice of the council of elders.
