## Resource

Ancus Marcius comes to the throne- maybe after murdering his predecessor- and finds himself fighting endless wars with the Sabines, Latins, and whoever else wants to have a go. But Ancus isn't the pacifist Numa reborn; there's plenty of fighting to be getting on with. He does have some other achievements in more domestic setting- but those will have to wait until next time... Time period : 640- 625 BCE Relevant individuals : Ancus Marcius, 4th King of Rome; Lucius Tarquinius, Roman cavalry commander Sources for this episode: Appian (1972), Appian's Roman History in Four Volumes (Volume I).
