Roberto 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Heh, we can't even be sure if it was 509 BC or some decades later. Isn't this date determined by tracing back the list of Roman Consuls and hasn't Cornell suggested that many of the early names look suspicious and that they could have been inserted at a later time for political reasons. From what I recall, the Republic could have started perhaps up to 100 years later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
