Where was Servius Tullius born?
Servius Tullius
Servius' birth to a slave of the royal household made him part of Tarquin's extended familia. Ancient sources infer him as protégé, rather than adopted son, as he married Tarquinius' and Tanaquil's daughter, named by some sources as Gegania.[12] All sources agree that before his accession, either in his early childhood[13] or later, members of the royal household witnessed a nimbus of fire about his head while he slept, a sign of divine favour, and a great portent.[14] He proved a loyal, responsible son-in-law. When given governmental and military responsibilities, he excelled in both.[15]
