Early Roman History to the fall of Tarquin DOWNLOAD FREE

Servius Tullius c. 570 BC. Tarquinius was murdered by the sons of Ancus. However, Tarquinius's wife managed to get Servius Tullius elected king; the parentage of Servius was unknowny, but he seems to have been an adopted son of Tarquinius. Servius established himself by conducting a successful war against Veii. He reorganised the army on the basis of citizen militia infantry, and categorised the property owning population into five classes based on wealth. In addition the most wealthy families served in the cavalry in eighteen centuries. He conducted the first census. The poor were not called upon to serve in the army, and the cost of war was born by the rich. Servius extended the city boundaries to include the hills of the Quirinal and the Viminal. He transferred the common Latin cult of Diana to Rome.
