The Sabine Women (Sabinae)
Romulus needed wives for the new city. He invited the neighboring Sabines to a festival, and the Roman men carried the young women home to be their wives. War followed. The women then stepped between the two armies and made peace, and the Romans and the Sabines became one people.
