Despite this the Alban king, Mettius, planned to betray Rome when Veii and Fidenae started a war against her. Nonetheless, with Alban assistance Tullus defeated the men of Veii and Fidenae. Afterwards, Tullus transfered the entire population of Alba to Rome. He executed Mettius by having him torn apart by teams of horses yoked to chariots. Tullus increased the number of senators by adding noble families of Alban origin to it. Tullus invaded the Sabine country and won a battle owing to his superior cavalry. Tullus contracted plague and was burnt to death in a badly performed ritual to Jupiter Elicius which resulted in the temple being struck by lightning. He reigned thirty-two years.
