Today in class we took notes from the power point about Ancient Rome and we also listened to a story about Taurquis the proud. This story was very messed up. It involved a lot of killing for power. His wife had killed his brother and his earlier wife also known as her sister and told Tarquin to take power and over rule her father. Tarquin sat on the throne that is meant for a king. Then he proclaimed to the present king and he said that he was king. Lastly he threw the king down the stairs and mangled him up in the streets and had his guards assassinate him. He had a son that was pretty awful also. he killed his relatives and he forced a girl to have sex with him and if not he would hurt her with giving in, and telling her family she later killed herself.
