There's a disagreement between the information in this page and the information on the Numa Pompilius page. Numa is the father of Ancus Marcius; on Numa's page, it's stated that Ancus Marcius was murdered. The information there (on Numa Pompilius page) is controversial in the sense that it first says that Ancus Marcius was a popular king, but they later (near the end of the page) imply that he was not as good. The information must be reconciled there and in this page. CarlosRibeiro 11:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plutarch tells us that Numa Pompilius was the father-in-law of Ancus Marcius, and that Ancus Marcius was the grandfather of Caius Marcius (/Martius), who had his own section in Plutarch's Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans, upon which was based a significant portion of Shakespeare's history / tragedy, Coriolanus. I don't personally have the know-how to go about editting existing articles in any meaningful sense, but anyone is free to do it themselves. My major source is Plutarch's 'Lives.'

Hello, I am a student editor working on the WikiProject Biography. I will be editing this article soon, adding additional information on Ancus Marcius that I have come across. Feel free to undo my changes if you find them unsatisfactory, but I believe my information is all from reliable sources so that should not be a problem.
