For example, in Livius (book I), is not truth that all the others kings «were all elected by the people of Rome».

[edit] Legendary

Each and every article on a Roman king begins with "was the nth legendary King of (ancient) Rome". This article never mentions legends. This is highly confusing, I should think, to the average reader. We need to clarify the nature of the source material for the Roman Kingdom to explain why each king can be described as "legendary" yet also to explain the historicity of the basic facts (existence of a kingdom, growth of the state and a culture). This is not my area of expertise an I am not competent to do this. Srnec (talk) 15:34, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
