Document Summary
Circa 509 bc, romans evicted the last king tarquinius superbus. They now ruled by two magistrates called consuls who were elected on an annual basis. The goal was to remove power from a specific individual. Capitoline brutus (late 4th century bc: veristic style sculpture (warts & all) Temple of caster and pollux (early 5th century bc) Temple of saturn (early 5th century bc: the monument was rebuilt several times as icon of earlier, golden age of rome. Fasti: lists of annual magistrates on display in forum of rome, consuls were eponymous magistrates (year named after them) The window into this period is very limited: much like for regal rome. Temples and other public structures provide a majority of the archaeological evidence. Stone came from a quarry at nearby site of veii (conquered by rome, 405-396 bc) Unlike many other ancient cities, rome was not built on a specific plan: the growth was organic not planned.
