Tullia the elder
Tullia the Elder was the elder daughter of the sixth, legendary Roman king Servius Tullius , who lived from 578 to 534 BC. Should have ruled.
Tullia is described in the sources, of which Titus Livius and Dionysius of Halicarnassus are authoritative, as a righteous woman who was married to the ambitious, proud and domineering Lucius Tarquinius Superbus . She is said to have been murdered at the instigation of her younger sister of the same name , who had the same characteristics as Tarquinius Superbus.
As with all people in early Roman history, there is only one semi-historical tradition about Tullia; it is not even certain that she was really alive.
