The last king was a tyrant. This led to a rebellion which overthrew him and did away with the monarchy. The republic was seen as a return to liberty and a measure to prevent the re-occurrence of tyranny was introduced. This was the creation of two annually elected consuls as heads of the city and the army. Having two men in charge meant that they would counterbalance each other. The short term of office was meant to prevent power becoming concentrated in the hands of one or a few men. The worst accusation against someone was that of trying to become a King. Two men were executed because of such accusation and one man who ordered one of the execution was seen as a hero of liberty.
