_289._ HOW HORATIUS HELD THE BRIDGE[4]

Tarquinius Superbus, septimus et ultimus rex Romanorum, ubi in exsilium
ab iratis Romanis eiectus est, a Porsena, rege Etruscorum, auxilium
petiit. Mox Porsena magnis cum copiis Romam venit, et ipsa urbs summo in
periculo erat. Omnibus in partibus exercitus Romanus victus erat. Iam
rex montem Ianiculum[5] occupaverat. Numquam antea Romani tanto metu
tenebantur. Ex agris in urbem properabant et summo studio urbem ipsam
muniebant.

[Footnote 4: The story of Horatius has been made familiar by
Macaulay's well-known poem "Horatius" in his _Lays of Ancient Rome_.
Read the poem in connection with this selection.]

[Footnote 5: The Janiculum is a high hill across the Tiber from
Rome.]
