Brutus, Lucius Junius

    0.03 sec.

Brutus, Lucius Junius (lived 6th century BC)

One of the first two elected Roman consuls 509 BC. He took a leading part in the expulsion of the last Roman king, Tarquinius Superbus, and the establishment of the Roman Republic. He executed his own sons for conspiring to reinstate Tarquin.

According to legend, Brutus's father and brother were both murdered by the Tarquins, and Lucius escaped only by feigning madness. Brutus was killed when winning a victory over the Etruscans at Silva Arsia.
