The origin of the Roman tribes is a question that is still hotly debated today. In pre-Struscan monarchic times the Roman population was apparently divided into the three tribes of Tities, Ramnes and Luceres; this division, based on archaic gentile structures, was made on the basis of a rational distribution of the population with the aim of achieving a better administration of the state apparatus that would allow for greater efficiency in military recruitment.
