The end of the Monarchy

The Monarchy came to an end in 509 BC, with the expulsion of king Tarquinius Superbus who, as his name suggests, was of Etruscan origin. The fall of the Monarchy was connected with the general breakdown of the Etruscan power in Italy and was brought about by an internal uprising against the king. The revolt appears to have been instigated by the patrician aristocracy whose privileged position had been threatened by the last king's disregard of established customary norms and the authority of the senate.
