Page "Lucius Tarquinius Superbus" Paragraph 8

Immediately afterward, Servius Tullius was murdered in the streets of Rome by a group of men sent by Tarquin, possibly on the advice of Tullia.

Tullia then drove in her chariot to the senate house, where she hailed her husband as king.

He ordered her to return home, away from the tumult.

She drove along the Cyprian street, where the king had been murdered, and turned towards the Orbian Hill, in the direction of the Esquiline Hill.

There she encountered her father's body and, on a street later to become known as wicked street because of her actions, she drove her chariot over her father's body.

Livy also says that she took a part of her father's body, and his blood, and returned with it to her own and her husband's household gods, and that by the end of her journey she was, herself, covered in the blood.
