Aruns Tarquinius was the son of Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, the semi-legendary fifth king of Rome, and was brother to the seventh and last king, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus.
Servius Tullius, the sixth king of Rome, married his daughters (both named Tullia) to Tarquinius Priscus' sons, Aruns and Lucius.[1] Aruns' wife, the younger Tullia, conspired with her brother-in-law Lucius, and each of Aruns and the elder Tullia were murdered by their respective spouses to make way for the marriage of Lucius and the younger Tullia.[2]
