Sources

As you may have noticed, throughout this blog I have posted various [1]s and [2]s. But unfortunately these couldn't be linked so I had to put them all in one post.


[1] (book) H. H. Scullard F. B. A., F. S. A.,, A History of the Roman World 753-146 B.C., p. 28-48 (Methuen & Co. Ltd; March 28, 1935). Scullard's primary concern of the book is about the Republic, but to set the scene he includes a whole chapter on the regal period and how the kings led to the foundation of the republic. It was also particularly helpful in understanding the lineage of the kings and their major impacts on the people. His incredible descriptions of the events are presented with a little arrative but without any bias apparent, all of his major points acredited in his footnotes.


[2] (book online) Titus Livius (Livy), (translated by Rev. Canon Roberts), The History of Rome, Vol. 1, Book 1, (from 1.1-1.60), (J. M. Dent & Sons, Ltd.; 1905) [from the website http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/txt/ah/Livy/Livy01.html]. Livy gives a detailed account of the whole 243 years up until the very, moment when Tarquinius Superbus was banned from entering Rome. As a Roman, he is expected to have a certain level of bias, but he is generally regarded as a reliable source.


[3] (website) F. Cavazzi, The Roman Kings, (presumed self-published; last updates April 7, 2012) [http://www.roman-empire.net/kings/kings-index.html] . As this is a website with no reference points credited and nothing to back up their statements, one cannot take this to be a truely reliable source. However, Cavazzi's description of the Roman kings gives a detailed account of thevents throughout the monarchy, unfortunately, however, is not very clear in distinguishing between myth and fact.


[4] (website) Maria Milani, ancient roman kings, (assumed self-published;'I update the information continuously but by and large I would say the bulk of it was put together during 2005-2006' [this is taken from home page: http://www.mariamilani.com/ancient_rome.htm]), [http://www.mariamilani.com/ancient_rome/rome_ancient_roman_kings.htm]. This website fabulously sums up the events during Regal Rome, however, as none of it is acredited, one cannot rely on its information solely.

Thank you so much to these four sources.
