Why Romans Hated Kings for 500 Years | Rome #1

History of Rome. Seven kings ruled for 244 years, transforming a settlement by the Tiber into a city that would dominate the world. From Romulus and the she-wolf to the rape of the Sabine women, from the absorption of Alba Longa to the tyranny of Tarquin the Proud—each reign brought conquest, law, and bloodshed. Yet the price was paid not by kings alone. Lucretia's death shattered the last throne, and Romans swore an oath: never again would one man rule. This is how a basket on the water became the foundation of an empire, and why the man who freed Rome would condemn his own sons to death. 0:00 Basket on the Water 0:54 Welcome 2:25 The Inconvenient Truth About Sources 5:11 What the Shovel Says 6:54 The Fugitive from Troy 8:39 Bad Uncle 10:07 About the She-Wolf, Honestly 11:36 Brothers from the Forest 13:30 Six Vultures and Twelve 15:36 The Plow and the Furrow 17:28 A City for All Who Were Driven Out 19:43 The City Without Women 21:09 The Rape of the Sabine Women 23:12 The War for Brides 24:58 Tarpeia and the Shields 26:26 Women Between Armies 28:54 The Co-Ruler Who Did Not Survive the Friendship 30:02 The Disappearance 32:31 Julius, Who Saw Everything 34:10 A Hundred Masters Instead of One 35:59 The Philosopher King from the Sabine Backwoods 37:15 How to Tame Wolf Cubs 38:46 The Nymph in the Grove 41:03 The King Who Was Bored 42:56 The Honest Voice of the Enemy 44:10 Three Against Three 46:31 Sister at the Gate 48:57 The Traitor on the Hill 51:01 The City That Ceased to Be 52:53 Lightning for a Warrior 54:33 The King with a Spear and a Lawyer 56:46 The First Prison 57:54 An Outsider with Great Ambitions 59:45 The First Politician 1:01:11 The Man Who Built 1:02:43 The Razor and the Stone 1:04:11 An Axe in the House 1:05:32 The Queen at the Window 1:07:37 Son of a Slave Woman or Etruscan Adventurer 1:10:08 The Great Rewriter 1:11:46 A Democracy Where the Poor Hardly Vote 1:13:45 The King Who Wanted to Leave 1:14:55 Two Sisters and Two Brothers 1:16:38 The Coup in the Curia 1:18:55 The Cursed Street 1:20:41 The Proud 1:22:39 The Basket and the Stones 1:24:43 Poppy Heads 1:27:11 The Temple and the Sewer 1:29:11 The Serpent and the Oracle 1:31:25 The Dispute Over Wine 1:32:26 Lucretia 1:34:20 The Oath Over the Knife 1:36:33 The Closed Gates 1:37:59 Seven Kings and One Arithmetic 1:40:15 The Answer to the Main Question 1:42:35 The Score 1:43:57 In the Next Episode #HistoryOfRome #AncientRome #RomanKings [mindrift:01M4AXQDAVA7MFJ963PPYX8QVB]
