Lucius Tarquinius Superbus's birth date is unknown, but it was somewhere around 600 B.C. He was the son of the fifth king of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, after he married a woman named Tanaquil. The sixth king of Rome was not Lucius Superbus, but Servius Tullius because he was pushed into the throne by Tanaquil's mother. Superbus thought that this was absurd because he knew that he had the right to be king because of his father. Eventually, Superbus could not take it anymore and marched into the Senate, and taking his place on the throne. Servius Tullius escaped into the streets only to be murdered by a group of men who were sent by Superbus When Superbus came to the throne, he had at his hands a extremely large kingdom that was widely respected, and still rapidly growing. This was much to the consent of Superbus, because he loved making treaties and extending his territories. That is about where his love of ruling stopped. He hated consulting the Senate for ideas, and acted like their opinions did not matter. Eventually, these feelings started getting so extreme that he began to kill senators. After a while of this, a group led by a senator Lucius Junius Brutus revolted. The battle raged while Superbus packed the senate with 200 people who followed him. Soon enough, Superbus, and the whole Tarquin family was expelled from Rome. Following this act was the start to the Roman Republic, and end to the age of the Roman Kings. Superbus ended up dying on the year of 496 B.C.
