Correct, but what I mean is the Latins existed before Rome, through the Kingdom of Alba Longa for example. Rome was settled by Latins but became heavily influenced by the Etruscans, with Etruscan kings ruling the city. This ended of course with the overthrow of the Tarquins, partially because of Sextus Tarquinius' rape of Lucretia.
