Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Tullus Hostilius
Appearance
TULLUS HOSTILIUS, third legendary king of Rome, is represented as having reigned for thirty-two years (670-638 B.C.). His successful wars with Alba, Fidenæ, and Veii shadow forth the earlier conquests of Latian territory and the first extension of the Roman domain beyond the walls of Rome. See Rome vol. xx. p. 733.
