Verum Tullus, etsi magnum admirabilis incrementi, domesticum tamen exemplum est: Tarquinium autem ad Romanum imperium occupandum Fortuna in urbem nostram advexit, alienum quod ex Etruria, alieniorem quod ortum Corintho, fastidiendum quod mercatore genitum, erubescendum quod etiam exsule [Demorato] natum patre.
But Tullus, great example of extraordinary development as he was, comes from inside, whereas Fortune brought Tarquinius to our city to take over Roman rule: an alien because he came from Etruria, more alien still as a native of Corinth, to be disdained as the son of a trader, to be blushed for as born of a banished father.
