How were kings chosen in ancient Rome?

The population of Ancient Rome was divided into 300 clans, 30 curiae or 3 tribes. The king had great powers comparable to the ancient Greek tyrant. However, the king was elected by representatives of the clans – the Council of Elders or the Senate. At the same time, the meetings themselves were held on the curia (10 genera were united into a curia). Only men who could hold weapons in their hands could participate in the meetings of the curiae. Even noble serving members were not allowed to vote. Thus, the term king for Ancient Rome is very conditional.
