If the Tarquins didn't provide kings to rule over the Romans, do you think they would be able to rule eventually?

glenn warner said...: NO WAY!!! the romans, in my opinion, were much stronger and if the tarquins didnt provide kings, the romans wouldve provided kings and the roman kings would kick out the tarquins! THE ROMANS WERE NOT STUPID!!!; 7:57 AM, May 04, 2007
Rashmi Pashankar said...: I think that the Romans would be a weaker civilization and would have fought over who is going to be king. They would have had a bloody war. They would have taken at least 5 years to find a rightful king.; 10:36 AM, May 04, 2007

giovanni said...: Yes, i believe that the Romans would have eventually been able to rule over Rome themselves. However, the Tarquins did provide the Romans with the knowledge of iron weapons, and Etruscan fighting styles. Also under Etruscan rule, artisans settled in Rome and allowed it to economically prosper for several hundred years after the Tarquins left.; 10:43 AM, May 04, 2007
Elaine said...: I believe that they would have possibly ruled eventually. Yet, there would probably be fights and such over the thrown, ending in someone's death. So, my opinion is that they would eventually get to the thrown, but might be killed off easily or overthrown.; 10:44 AM, May 04, 2007
