The Sibylline Books, Hardball Negotiation

With the future of Rome in her hands, the Sibyl approached Tarquinius Superbus (the Proud) with the opportunity of a lifetime. But what would she do if he felt the price was too high?

I went to Cumea and visited the cave of the Sybil. I actually sat in the exact spot where she made her prophecies. The stone seat sits a little high, the back is carved out a little for the back and there is a small dish size hole on the left side of where she would have sat. Maybe she kept snacks or something there... i don't know.

Tarquin should have read Trump's "Art of the Deal".

what was the purpose of burning the scrolls? did it symbolize anything?

+Matthew Brennan Pure economics. Decrease supply, increase value.

For a king, Tarquinius sure had a good grasp of negotiation tactics...
