Others say that they were named so in honour of Lu'ceres, king of Ardea, according to which theory the third would have been a Pelasgo-Tyrrhenian colony. We shall hereafter have occasion to remark, that the Lu'ceres were subject to the other tribes. The Pincian and Vatican hills were added at a much later period and these, with Janiculum, made the number ten. They were named as follow: 1.
In the time of Numa there were but four, but two more were added by Tarquin; probably the addition made by Tarquin was to give the tribe of the Lu'ceres a share in this important priesthood.
In process of time this relation assumed a feudal form, and the clients were bound to the same duties as vassals in the middle ages. The Tuscan tribe of the Lu'ceres remained unrepresented in the senate until the reign of the first Tarquin, when the legislative body received another hundred from that tribe.
They were at first so disunited, that even the rights of intermarriage did not exist between them, and it was probably from Qui'rium that the Roman youths obtained the wives by force, which were refused to their entreaties. 5. The next addition was the Coelian hill, on which a Tuscan colony settled; from these three colonies the three tribes of Ram'nes, Ti'ties, and Lu'ceres were formed. 6.
The Ram'nes, or Ram'nenses, derived their name from Rom'ulus; the Tities, or Titien'ses, from Titus Tatius, the king of the Sabines; and the Lu'ceres, from Lu'cumo, the Tuscan title of a general or leader. From this it appears that the three tribes were really three distinct nations, differing in their origin, and dwelling apart.
