A number of the early laws and customs of Rome are attributed to him and were used to build the [[Roman Empire]]. He is, however, a legendary figure and it is possible the reforms attributed to him were actually instituted a century later during the early [[Roman Republic]]. | + | '''Servius Tullius''' ruled Rome from 578 to 534 B.C. under the period of [[Roman Kingship]] early in Rome's history.
