Answer:
Who overthrew the Etruscans?
The Tarquin family was expelled from Rome, and the monarchy at Rome was abolished (traditionally 509 bc). Tarquin was said to have provoked a series of attacks on Rome by its neighbours. The Etruscan cities of Caere, Veii, and Tarquinii were defeated by Rome at the Battle of Silva Arsia.
Who founded the Roman Republic?
According to Roman tradition, the Republic began in 509 BCE when a group of noblemen overthrew the last king of Rome. The Romans replaced the king with two consuls—rulers who had many of the same powers as the king but were elected to serve one-year terms.
