Lucius Junius Brutus was one of the Romans who led the overthrow of the Tarquin king of Rome, and he was also a founder of the Roman Republic. As a reward for his service, he was one of the first consuls of Rome. Not long after his rule began, a plan to overthrow the Republic and restore the king was exposed. Two of Brutus’s sons were found to be involved. The Roman Republic watched eagerly to see Brutus’s reaction and were amazed when he condemned them to death.
