Tullus Hostilius: The Warlike King
Tullus Hostilius was the third king of Rome, succeeding Numa Pompilius, and his reign from 672 BC to 640 BC was a stark departure from the peaceful era of his predecessor. While Numa was celebrated for his commitment to peace, piety, and harmony, Tullus Hostilius emerged as the embodiment of a different era in Rome, marked by warfare, conquest, and territorial expansion.
