jul 1, 575 BC - Servius Tullius

Description:

Servius Tullius was the legendary sixth king of Rome, and the second of its Etruscan dynasty. He reigned from 578 to 535 BC.
Roman and Greek sources describe his servile origins and later marriage to a daughter of Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, Rome's first Etruscan king, who was assassinated in 579 BC.
Servius is said to have been the first Roman king to accede without election by the Senate, having gained the throne by popular support; and the first to be elected by the Senate alone, without reference to the people.

The year 575 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. In the Roman Empire, it was known as year 179 Ab urbe condita.
