Roman battle in which Tullia rides over the corpse of her father after a work by Michel-François Dandré-Bardon (1700-1785)
Tullia was the younger of the two daughters of King Servius Tullius, and he arranged marriages for his daughters to the sons of his predecessor Lucius Tarquinius Priscus. Tullia Minor was originally betrothed to Arruns, the brother of Lucius Tarquinius, but due to his lack of ambition, she was drawn to her sister's betrothed. In order to secure their own future marriage, the two had their betrothed murdered.
Tullia then managed to convince her husband to seize power, and after he had gained sufficient support in the Senate, he marched to the Curia Hostilia and took his place on the throne. When Servius Tullius protested against this, he was thrown into the streets of Rome, where he was murdered by the assassins of Tarquinius at the suggestion of Tullia Minor. She then rode in her chariot to the Senate herself to pay her respects to her husband, but was sent back home by him. On her way back, she came across the mutilated body of her father and drove over the corpse with her chariot
