The Romans overthrew which group and set up the republican form of government?

Answer 1

The history of Rome began with a mythic tale of Romulus and Remus, who were the twin sons of Mars and the Vestial Rhea Sylvia. Similar to the Moses mythology, at birth Romulus and Remus were placed in a basket and left to float down the river Tiber. When the twins in a basket finally found shore, they were discovered by a she wolf who suckled and raised them until they were a shepherd and his family. Whey they had grown into manhood, Romulus and Remus decided to found a city and split it amongst them but it wasn't long before jealousies and rivalry began and at some point Romulus killed Remus and named the city after himself.

Roman tradition tells a story of a Rome under the control of seven Kings who controlled Rome, beginning with Romulus, from 753 to 509 BC. There is some debate as to who these seven kings were and how much control the neighboring Etruscans had on Rome, but their influence on Roman culture is only surpassed by the Greeks of who Rome admired greatly. As the Etruscan Empire began to wane, Rome found opportunity to rebel and gain independence from Etrscanian monarchies. This is the time that Rome rejected monarchies for a republic and Senatorial type of government. From the moment that republic was established all the way up to the Principate, Rome was mired in never ending wars and in spite of that, some would argue because of that Rome became the great city of popular imagination.

The Romans decided to do away with the monarchy to prevent the return of tyranny and established the Roman Republic.

When the term overthrow is used in connection with Roman government, it usually means the Etruscan kings.
