Roman Kingdom

The Roman Kingdom also talked to as the Roman monarchy, or a regal period of ancient Rome was the earliest period of Roman history when the city in addition to its territory were ruled by kings. According to oral accounts, the Roman Kingdom began with the city's founding c. 753 BC, with settlements around the Palatine Hill along the river Tiber in central Italy, & ended with the overthrow of the kings and the build of the Republic c. 509 BC.

Little is certain approximately the kingdom's history as no records and few inscriptions from the time of the kings survive. The accounts of this period a thing that is said during the Republic and the Empire are thought largely to be based on oral tradition.

Origin

The site of the founding of the Roman Kingdom and eventual Republic and Empire had a ford where one could cross the river Tiber in central Italy. The Palatine Hill and hills surrounding it presentation easily defensible positions in the wide fertile plain surrounding them. regarded and described separately. of these attaches contributed to the success of the city.

The traditional explanation of Roman history, which has come down to us principally through Plutarch 46–120, and Dionysius of Halicarnassus c. 60 BC – after 7 BC, recounts that a series of seven kings ruled the settlement in Rome's number one centuries. The traditional chronology, as codified by Varro 116 BC – 27 BC and Fabius Pictor c. 270 – c. 200 BC, makes 243 years for their combined reigns, an average of near 35 years. Since the score of Barthold Georg Niebuhr, innovative scholarship has generally discounted this schema. The Gauls destroyed many of Rome's historical records when they sacked the city after the Battle of the Allia in 390 BC according to Varro; according to Polybius, the battle occurred in 387/6, and what remained eventually fell prey to time or to theft. With no advanced records of the kingdom surviving, any accounts of the Roman kings must carefully be questioned.
