Information about Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus

Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus (fl. 6th century BC) is traditionally one of the first two consuls of Rome, together with Lucius Junius Brutus.

According to legend, ancient Rome had seven kings. The last of these kings, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, was overthrown in the year 510 BCE after his son Sextus Tarquinius had raped Lucretia, wife of his kinsman Collatinus. This revolt was led by the aforementioned Lucius Junius Brutus, an ancestor of the Marcus Brutus who conspired to kill Julius Caesar almost 500 years later. After overthrowing the seventh king of Rome, the Roman Republic was founded. Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus joined Lucius Junius Brutus in the first shared consulship.

William Smith's Dictionary says that Collatinus was the son of Egerius, himself the son of Aruns, himself the brother of Tarquinius Priscus (who was the fifth king of Rome). Collatinus derived his cognomen thus; his grandfather Egerius was placed in command of the town Collatia which had been captured by Tarquinius Priscus, and the next generation also resided in that town. Thus the grandson was surnamed Collatinus to indicate his place of birth or origin or nearest association.

Collatinus's time as consul was brief. Livy claims that the people could not endure the rule of any of the hated race of the Tarquins, and thus the innocent Collatinus was persuaded by his colleague and the other nobles to resign his office and retire from Rome. He withdrew with all his property to Lavinium, and Publius Valerius Poplicola was elected in his place.
