- Short Description
- "Sextus Tarquinius was the third and youngest son of the last king of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, according to Livy, but by Dionysius of Halicarnassus he was the oldest of the three.. It is possible he was the youngest of the family as the name “Sextus” translates to sixth in English implying he was a sixth son, with two living and three stillborn brothers. According to Roman tradition, his rape of Lucretia was the precipitating event in the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of the Roman Republic." - (en.wikipedia.org 20.10.2020)
