King of Rome

The source location for the Roman early period is very bad. Since there is virtually no reliable historical sources concerning the Roman kings compared to the emperors of the Roman Empire, one can get at your resume and data of the individual kings on the list of old Roman kings often little to be sure about their truthfulness. Over the centuries, the remaining information of the early rulers of the Roman authors with divers miracles Say were enriched (see Livy ) to demonstrate an already early strength and importance of Rome. This procedure also caused in some Romans for discontent; according to the historian Tacitus acted in his demolition of Roman history at the beginning of his historical work Annales the monarchy with the sentence Urbem Romam principio a lively habuere ( " The city of Rome ruled in the very first time the Kings" ) from short.

The following list gives the current " state of knowledge " of the historian again, as the king list might have looked like. However, there are quite a few ancient historians, at least the existence of the first four rulers completely deny and also the government data for the last question three - because there are many indications that the kingship in Rome was in reality only later, around 470, abolished.

In the Holy Roman Empire led the king who has not yet held the imperial dignity, the title of Roman king. Napoleon Franz Bonaparte ( Napoleon II ), the son of Napoleon ( I), led it inspired the title of Roi de Rome ( king of Rome).
