“When I was a boy, my grandfather taught me the list of kings: Romulus, Numa Pompilius, Tullus Hostilius, Ancus Marcius, Tarquinius the Elder, Servius Tullius. Tarquinius the Proud was to be the last, the very last, cast out and replaced forever by something called a republic. A mockery! A mistake! An experiment that failed! Today is the republic’s final day. Tomorrow, men will shout in the Forum, ‘All hail King Coriolanus!” MenTodayLastsMistakeBoysForeverTaughtProudKingsTomorrowFinalsCastsListsExperimentsRepublicGrandfatherReplacedEldersMy GrandfatherMockeryHailForumsRomulus Book:Roma: A Novel of Ancient Rome Source: Roma: A Novel of Ancient Rome
