Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita 1.60.3

Livy closes the episode by recording that Tarquinius Superbus had reigned twenty-five years, that the age of kings had lasted two hundred and forty-four years, and that Brutus and Collatinus were elected as Rome's first consuls.

 

Tier 1

Lucius Tarquinus Superbus rex erat xxv annos. Tempus regum, ab urbe condita ad liberatam urbem, erat ccxliv annos.

Ab eo tempore duo consules, Lucius Iunius Brutus et Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus, creati sunt a praefecto urbis ex comitiis centuriatis (the centuriate assembly), ex commentariis Servii Tulli.
