Editing Servius Tullius (section)

===Religion===
Servius is credited with the construction of [[Temple of Diana (Rome)|Diana's temple]] on the [[Aventine Hill]], to mark the foundation of the so-called [[Latin League]];<ref>Beard, North, Price, ''Religions of Rome: Vol. 1, a History'', 1998, p. 3.</ref> His servile birth-mythos, his populist leanings and his reorganisation of the ''vici'' appear to justify the Roman belief that he founded or reformed the [[Compitalia]] festivals (held to celebrate the [[Lares]] that watched over each local community), or allowed for the first time their attendance and service by non-citizens and slaves.<ref>Lott, John. B., ''The Neighborhoods of Augustan Rome,'' Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2004. p. 31 ff.</ref> His personal reputation and achievements may have led to his historical association with temples and shrines to Fortuna; some sources suggest that the two were connected during Servius' lifetime, via some form of "sacred marriage". Plutarch explicitly identifies the ''Porta Fenestella'' ("window gate") of the Royal palace as the window from which Tanaquil announced Servius' regency to the people; the goddess Fortuna was said to have passed through the same window, to become Servius' consort.<ref>Cornell, pp. 146–148. cf. images of a "goddess at the window" and forms of ruler-marriage to a tutelary deity. Plutarch credits Servius with the appreciative foundation of a temple Fortuna Primigenia, and one to Fortuna Obsequens – and "the greater part" of her titles and honours: due gratitude from one who "through good fortune, had been promoted from the family of a captive enemy to the kingship"–see Plutarch, ''Moralia,'' On the fortune of the Romans, 10.58–63.
