Line 3 :"emphasiar" is a word that I could not find in any on-line dictionary. Is this a coined word?

Roman Interregnum
Is there any particular reason the interregnum in Rome following the exile of Tarquinius Superbus, for which the phrase was coined? Nor are there any mentions of other periods of interregnum which occurred in the Imperial Era. Surely these are just as valid as the others provides in the list of historical periods of interregnum.--121.220.41.64 (talk) 12:03, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

First, there was no interregnum after the expulsion of Tarquinius Superbus; he was the last king of Rome. After Tarquinius and the kings, Rome had two elected consuls and thus the term "interregnum" is not applicable. However, the very term was invented (if Livy can be trusted) Exactly FOR the succession of the Roman kings. For example, when Romulus, the first king of Rome, died, Rome entered the first instance of an interregnum (maybe not the first interregnum by practice, but the first time which the term "interregnum" was used in recorded history). The interregnum was a time when the leading patrician families of Rome jockeyed for the rule of Rome. As such, the Senate (the council of the heads of these leading families) decided that they should share the kingly power until a new king could be elected. This person bore the title of "interrex" (and hence "interregnum"). Basically, I agree with the above comments that Rome most definitely ought to be mentioned in this article on a term that is directly derived from Roman practice, just wanted to get the history clear.24.147.190.10 (talk) 22:18, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Name is pointed
The name "Interregnum" seems to be POV, even if its the "common term" promoted in the British literature. "Republican Period" would be clear and would be in plain language. -Inowen (nlfte) 01:56, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
