Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus was born in 519 BCE, under the rule of Tarquin, the final and tyrannical King of Rome. Tarquin was removed from power when Cincinnatus was still a boy. His first appearance in history saw him defending his son, Caeso, who regularly assaulted plebeians who took part in marches. When capital charges were raised against him and he fled to Etruria, Cincinnatus was forced to sell most of his property to pay his debts and was left with a small farm.
In 460 BCE, Cincinnatus was elected consul. A patrician by birth, he opposed the plebeians efforts to gain political power. His year as consul was marked with struggles between the patricians and plebs, with little productivity. At the end of the year he retired to his farm.
