          Ancus Marcius

          King of Rome from c. 640 to 616 BC

          Ancus Marcius (Classical Latin:[ˈaŋkʊsˈmaːrkiʊs]) was the legendary fourth king of Rome,[1][2][3] who traditionally reigned 24 years.[4] Upon the death of the previous king, Tullus Hostilius, the Roman Senate appointed an interrex, who in turn called a session of the assembly of the people who elected the new king.[5] Ancus is said to have ruled by waging war as Romulus did, while also promoting peace and religion as Numa Pompilius did.[6]

          Ancus Marcius was believed by many Romans to have been the namesake of the Marcii, a plebeian family.[7][8][9]

          Background

          Ancus was the son of Marcius (himself the son of Rome's first pontifex maximusNuma Marcius[10]) and Pompilia (daughter of Numa Pompilius).[5] Ancus Marcius was thus the grandson of Numa and therefore a Sabine.[11][12][13]
