160. Tullus Hostilius


          


Numae succéssit
Tullus Hostílius,
cuius avus
se
in bello advérsus Sabínos
fortem et strénuum virum
praestíterat.
Rex creátus
bellum Albánis indíxit,
idque
trigeminórum,
Horatiórum et Curiatiórum,
certámine finívit.
Albam
propter perfídiam Métii Suffétii
díruit.
Cum
trigínta duóbus annis regnásset,
fúlmine ictus
cum domo sua arsit.
