Summary
We look at the reign of Ancus Marcius a second time- this time around from a civil perspective rather than all the punching. Join us for bridges, forcible deportations leading to city growth, hills being added, and a man called Lucumo who claims descent from Hercules/Heracles. Time period : 640- 616 BCE Relevant individuals : Ancus Marcius, 4th King of Rome; Lucius Tarquinius, commander of the cavalry Sources for this episode: Appian (1972), Appian's Roman History in Four Volumes (Volume I).
