Page "Lucius Tarquinius Superbus" Paragraph 24

After his exile, Tarquin made a number of attempts to regain the throne.

At first he sent ambassadors to the Senate to request the return of his family's personal effects which had been seized in the coup.

In secret, while the Senate debated his request, the ambassadors met with and subverted a number of the leading men of Rome to the royal cause, in the Tarquinian conspiracy.

The conspirators included two of Brutus ' brothers-in-law, and his two sons Titus and Tiberius.

The conspiracy was discovered, and the conspirators executed.
