He was the son-in-law of Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, the seventh and last king of Rome. According to tradition, the gens Mamilia was descended from Mamilia, reputedly the daughter of Ulysses (Odysseus) and Circe, and Titus Livius described Octavius as head of one of the most distinguished families of Latium, and thus an important ally of Tarquinius. Following the overthrow of his father-in-law in 509 B.C., Mamilius was associated with various efforts to restore Tarquinius to the throne. The deposed king first sought his help after Lars Porsena, the Etruscan king of Clusium, withdrew from Roman territory circa 504 B.C. With all hope of further aid from the Etruscans ended, Mamilius turned to the cities and towns of Latium, comprising some thirty communities. Some towns formerly allied with Rome were receptive to his overtures, while others dissented and joined the Roman cause.
