Gastone introduces us to the last tyrannical King of Rome Tarquinius; Lars Porsena, an Etruscan king and enemy of Rome; and the early Roman heroes defending their city like Gaius Mucius Scaevola, the wonderfully named Horatius Cocles (has to be the name of your next cat) and the heroic self-sacrifice of Marcus Curtius.
