Why is Tarquins so important to Rome?
The term Tarquins refers to the last three kings of Rome: Lucius Tarquinius Priscus (the Elder), Servius Tullius and Lucius Tarquinius Superbus (the Haughty). These kings oversaw a period of urban expansion and development, reformed the army and strengthened Rome's military power. The name Tarquinius was derived from the fact that Tarquinius Priscus was from Tarquinii, an Etruscan city. He was the Son of Demaratus (an aristocrat and trader from Corinth in Greece who moved to Tarquinii because he was in political trouble there) and an impoverished Etruscan aristocratic woman. He moved to Rome to pursue a public service career there as he was barred from this in Tarquinii because he was only half Etruscan and the Romans did not bar foreigners from public office. Tarquinius Priscus defeated Latin cities which were in league against Rome and the Sabines who also attacked Rome. According to a dubious source he also defeated an Etruscan alliance. He doubled the size of the cavalry and the size of the senate. He was the first Roman king to celebrate a triumph, whose ceremonial dress and parade was identical until the time of the emperors. He also built the first wooden seating (only for the aristocracy) at the Circus Maximus. He raised the level of the forum and built the first part of the Cloaca Maxima (which at the time was a canal which drained the area) to protect it from floods. Tarquinius Superbus was the last king. He was a tyrant and was deposed by the patricians, who then formed the republic. He put himself at the head of the Latin League (a league of Latin cities), embarked on wars, and greatly expanded the territory of Rome and the Latins. He built the temple of Jupiter Optimums Capitolinus, a massive temple on the Capitoline Hill. In between these two kings there was Servius Tullius who is also considered a Tarquin because he was raised at the court of Tarquinius Priscus, who wanted him to succeed him. He introduced the census, reformed the army and created the assembly of the soldiers. He reformed the administrative division of the city from three to four tribes and created the assembly of the tribes. Both institutions were retained by the Republic. He also redefined the boundaries of the city, enlarging them, and completed the walls around it. Because of these radical steps, the Romans saw him as 'the second founder of Rome.'

Describe the Roman conquest of Italy?
In 509 BC, the Romans rebelled and overthrew the Tarquins and set up a republic. Over the next 200 years, the Romans fought war after war with neighbors. In 338 BC. they finally defeated the other Latins living nearby. Next they attacked the Etruscans and defeated them in 284 BC. By 267 BC, the Romans had conquered the Greeks in southern Italy.
Who defeated Roman empire?
Technically, nobody burst Rome into flames and started their own empire. Consuls who came far after Alexander the great, Julius Caesar and Octavian Augustus were part of foolish dynasties (Tarquins, Caligula, Nero, etc.), and this created disorder in Europe. By the time the Crusades and Alaric came around in the years of castles and knights and serfs, the Roman Empire was dead from warfare.

Why did the Romans overthrow the Tarquins?
The Romans overthrew the Tarquins because the last king, Tarquinius Superbus was a tyrant. The rape of a noblewoman (Lucretia) by his son (Sextus Tarquinius) while he was besieging the city of Ardea led to a revolt. The Romans closed the city gates and Tarquinius could not get back in the city. The Romans decided to do away with the monarchy, instituted the republic and created two annually elected consuls as leaders of he city to ensure that power would not fall in the hands of a single man. They also swore that they would not allow anyone to become king ever again to prevent the return of tyranny.
Why was Caesar killed ?
It was thought by many in the Senate that Julius Caesar was becoming too powerful, and that he had dreams of kingship and ultimate power. This was a(nother) major threat to the stability of the Empire and would have reduced or removed the power of the Senators themselves. The group of senators who stabbed Caesar were led by Brutus and Cassius. Brutus was descended from the Brutus who was one of the first consuls of Rome and played a large part in driving out the Tarquins, the last kings of Rome. So understandably he was a staubch Republican, and as Caesar made himself 'dictator for life' this would be seen to be wanting to be made king, which couldn't be tolerated. So Caesar was killed in the name of the Republic and liberty.
