According to the Etruscan annals, Servius Tullius was an Etruscan by name Mastarna, who came to Rome with his friend Caeles Vibenna, and, changing his name, obtained the kingdom. This was stated by the Emperor Claudius in a speech of which fragments are engraved on a bronze tablet found at Lyons. See Tacitus, _Annals_, ed. Orelli, 2nd Ed., p. 342. As the emperor wrote a history of Etruria in twenty books (Suetonius, _Divus Claudius_, 42) he probably had some authority for the statement, and the historical, or at least legendary, character of Mastarna and Caeles Vibenna is vouched for by a painting inscribed with their names, which was found in 1857 in an Etruscan tomb at Vulci. See G. Dennis, _Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria_, 3rd Ed., ii. 506 _sq._ But from this it by no means follows that the identification of Mastarna with Servius Tullius was correct. Schwegler preferred the Roman to the Etruscan tradition (_Römische Geschichte_, i. 720 _sq._), and so, after long hesitation, did Niebuhr (_History of Rome_, 3rd Ed., i. 380 _sqq._). It is fair to add that both these historians wrote before the discovery of the tomb at Vulci. Footnote 640: A. Schwegler, _Römische Geschichte_, i. 715; L.

There was a very ancient worship of Vesta at Lavinium, the city named after Amata’s daughter Lavinia, the ancestress of the Alban kings. See above, vol. i. p. 14.
