 B. v. c. ii. 3. ITALY. ETRURIA. 327 cius, king of the Romans, succeeded him on the throne, and assumed the name of Lucius~^KrquTnTuT Priscus. Both he and his father did mnghjor^j.h^^ of Tyrrhenia. the one by means of the numerous artists who had followed him from tj^eiEIaative country TThe other having the resou rces oTRome^ It is saicT thaT the triumphal costume of the con- suls, as well as that of the other magistrates, was introduced ' from the Tarquinii, with the fasces, axes, trumpets, sacrifices, divination, and music employed by the Romans in their public ceremonies. His son, the second Tarquin, named Su- perbus, who was driven from his throne, was the last king Rome]. Porsena, king of Clusium, 2 a city of Tyrrhe endeavoured to replace him on the throne by force of arms, but not being able he made peace 3 with the Romans, and departed in a friendly way, with honour and loaded with gifts. 3. Such are the facts concerning the celebrity of the Tyr- rheni, to which may be added the explojjs_oLj3iejCaeretani, 4 who defeated the Galatae after they had taken Rome. Having attacked them as they were departing through the country of the Sabini, they took from them, much against their will, the ransom which the Romans had willingly paid to them ; besides this, they_toojcjin^e^jtheir_proj^tipjn thosejvvho fledjfcp them out of RomeT the sacred fire and the priestesses of Vesta/? The Romans, influenced by those who then misgoverned the city, seen^oXto^ayje_be^n_pr^ejljjmindful of this service ; for although they conferred on them the rights of citizenship, they did not enrol them amongst the citizens ; and further, they inscribed upoji the same.,joll with the Cgretani, others who did not enjoy as great privileges as they did. However, the name of Lucumo ; in this latter statement he is supported by Diony- sius Halicarnassus. Livy also mentions a young citizen of Clusium named Lucumo. But there is reason to believe that these three writers were deceived by the writers whom they followed. It seems to be in- contestable that Lucumo was the designation of the chief of each of the twelve cities of Etruria. 1 Dionysius Halicarnassus relates that after a brisk war the cities of Etruria submitted to Tarquinius Priscus, and that the Romans permitted him to accept this foreign royalty, and still hold the throne of Rome. No historian that we are aware of, with the exception of Strabo, men- tions the benefits received by Etruria from that prince. 2 Chiusi. 3 B. c. 508. 5 This is also related by Livy and Valerius Maximus.
