The son of Arrunt , grandson of the Democrat of Corinth . He was born after the death of his father and grandfather, so he did not receive any inheritance. Because of this, he received the nickname "Egerius" (from Lat. Egere - need). After the invasion of Tarquin by the ancient city of Collation, he was placed at the head of the garrison stationed there and appointed as unlimited ruler for life [1] .
He commanded the allied Latin army in the war of Tarquin with the Etruscans and was defeated at Fideny [2] , then led the Etruscan allies of Rome in the battle with the Sabines in 585 BC. e. [3]
He received the nickname "Collatius", which he passed on to his descendants. Fabius Pictor considers him the father of Lucius Tarquinius Collatin , consul 509 BC. e. and one of the founders of the Roman Republic. This opinion is shared by Livy , but Dionysius of Halicarnassus believes that Lucius was the grandson of Egerius, since this is more logical from a chronological point of view. According to the calculations of Dionysius, Tarquinius the Proud should not be a son, but a grandson of Tarquinius the Ancient, and Lucius Tarquinius Collatin, according to Fabius and other annalists , was the same age as the sons of the last Roman king [4] .
