The rulers of Rome were always the Romans, right from the beginning. There is a fashionable theory that the last three of the seven kings of Rome were Etruscan. However, it is just what it is, a theory. It has been challenged. It evidence base if very flimsy to say the least. Recent archaeological evidence seems to suggest a different picture.
Rome was never ruled by tyranny. The last king of Rome was tyrannical. However, he was a king, not a tyrant (which was a feature of Greek politics, not Roman politics). He was deposed in a rebellion and the Romans decided to establish a republic and swore not to ever allow anyone to try to become a king.
Rome was a monarchy for 244 years, from its foundation in 753 BC to 509 BC.
