The Roman Kingdom was the earliest stage of ancient Roman history and existed while Rome was still only a city-state within the Italian peninsula.
History
Rome was founded in the ninth century BCE as an Iron Age village and grew into a chieftain's fort in the eighth century BCE. Etruscan invaders conquered the area in the seventh century BCE and installed a dynasty of Etruscan kings that ruled until an aristocratic revolution in 510 BCE that established the Roman Republic.[1]
