The '''regal period of Rome''' extended from the foundation of the city in 753 BC to the expulsion of Tarquin Superbus, the last king, in 509 BC. The legends of this period were well known to Romans of the late Republic and Empire, but historical records are few and unreliable.
The '''regal period of Rome''' extended from the foundation of the city in 753 BC to the expulsion of Tarquin Superbus, the last king, in 509 BC.
The legends of this period were well known to Romans of the late Republic and Empire, but historical records are few and unreliable. Roman history up to this point seems to have written as a tableau for securing Roman virtues and vices in history for the purposes of political imitation and avoidance on a skeleton history of its people in response to both the world and the local events of the time.
Accomplishments attributed to the regal period include the "Calendar of Numa," a precursor to the [[Julian Calendar]], and the Cloaca Maxima, the world's first sewage system.
