Tullia running over her father Servius Tullius in her chariot. Etching by J. Le Pautre.

Episode described by Valerius Maximus, Factorum dictorumque memorabilium, book 9, chapter 11, and earlier in Livy, De urbe condita, 1, 48, 7. Valerius Maximus: "Tullia ... tempore vetustissimum, conscientia nefarium, voce monstri simile exemplum est. Cum carpento veheretur et his qui iumenta agebat succussis frenis constitisset, repentinae morae causam requisivit; et ut comperit corpus patris Servii Tullii occisi ibi iacere, supra id duci vehiculum iussit quo celerius in complexu interfectoris eius Tarquinii veniret" (text from Milan 1478 edition). Valerius Maximus says that Servius Tullius was already dead when Tullia ran over his body, but Le Pautre shows him still alive, roaring in pain
