Also known as: Tarquin · Family: Roman · Role: king · First appears: Poplicola

Poplicola

enemies with Lucius Brutus “And Lucius Brutus, engaging in the change, came to Valerius before all others, and, with his zealous assistance, deposed the kings.”
child: Aruns “When they came into action, Aruns, the son of Tarquin, and Brutus, the Roman consul, not accidentally encountering each other, but out of hatred and rage”
enemies with Publius Valerius “To this embassy the consuls thought fit to give public audience, but Valerius opposed it, and would not permit that the poorer people, who entertained more fear of war than of tyranny, should have any occasion offered them, or any temptations to new designs.”
parent: Tarquin (The text says son or grandson, so the exact generational relation is uncertain.) “Tarquinius Superbus, his son or grandson, built, but could not dedicate it, because he lost his kindom before it was quite finished.”
with Lars Porsenna (interaction) “Tarquin, after the great battle wherein he lost his son in combat with Brutus, fled to Clusium, and sought aid from Lars Porsenna”

enemies with Caius Marcius (They were on opposing sides in the war for Tarquin's restoration.) “The first time he went out to the wars, being yet a stripling, was when Tarquinius Superbus, who had been king of Rome and was afterwards expelled, after many unsuccessful attempts, now entered upon his last effort”
with Caius Marcius (fought in opposing armies) “The armies met and engaged in a decisive battle, in the vicissitudes of which, Marcius, while fighting bravely in the dictator's presence, saw a Roman soldier struck down at a little distance, and immediately stepped in and stood before him, and slew his assailant.”
