The Polyhistor

Others: who reigned for forty-three years, buried under the Ianiculum. Tullus Hostilius [lived] on the Velia, where afterward the temple of the Penates gods was made, who reigned for thirty-two years, died in the thirty-fifth Olympiad. Ancus Martius [lived] at the top of the Sacra Via, where the temple of the Lares is, who reigned for twenty-four years. He died in the forty-first Olympiad. Tarquinius Priscus [lived] at the Mugonia gate above the top of the New Way, who reigned for thirty-seven years. Servius Tullius [lived] on the Esquiline above the Urbicus slope, who reigned for forty-two years. Tarquinius Superbus, also on the Esquiline above the Pullius slope at the Fagutal lake, who reigned for twenty-five years.

Cincius Alimentus thinks Roma was founded in the twelfth Olympiad, Fabius Pictor in the eighth, with Cornelius Nepos and Lutatius Catulus confirming the opinions of Eratosthenes and Apollodorus as the second year of the seventh Olympiad. According to Pomponius Atticus and M. Tullius [Cicero], it was the third year of the sixth Olympiad. Therefore, having compared our times and those of the Greeks, we find that Roma was founded at the beginning of the seventh Olympiad, four hundred and thirty-three years after Ilium was captured. For the Olympic contest, which Hercules had given in honor of his maternal great-grandfather Pelops, having been interrupted, Iphitus Eleus restored it four hundred and eight years after the destruction of Troia Troy. Therefore, the first Olympiad is numbered from Iphitus. Thus, with six intermediate Olympiads, to which four years each are imputed, since Roma was founded at the beginning of the seventh, it is certain that there are rightly four hundred and thirty-three years between the rise of the city and the capture of Troia. To this argument is added the fact that when C. Pompeius Gallus and Quintus Verannius were consuls in the eight-hundred-and-first year of the city's founding...
