Question
I was just wondering if you could give me some insight into what (if any) great things that each of the individual kings did during their rule.  

Answer
According to the writings of Livy there were 7 traditional Kings of Rome.


Romulus 753BC-716BC

Numa Pompilius 715 BC-674 BC

Tullus Hostilius   673 BC- 641 BC,     

Ancus Marcius       642 BC-617 BC

Lucius Tarquinius Priscus    616 BC-579 BC

Servius Tullius    578 BC-535 BC

Lucius Tarquinius Superbus  535 BC-510 BC



The seven kings were followed by rulers of the Republic and the Empire.

Hope this helps your research.

Along with teaching classical Literature for over thirty-eight years, I have also taught history of the Greco-Roman cultures. History and Mythology are, in my opinion, inseparable; it is necessary to have a background in both to have a clear understanding of both ends of the spectrum, the myth and the fact.

Experience

Thirty-eight years of teaching.
