The Rape of the Sabines is a legendary episode in the history of Rome during which the first generation of men of Rome procured women by abducting them from other cities in the region, notably from the Sabines:
The Rape of the Sabines is a legendary episode in the founding of Rome;
According to legend, Romulus founded Rome then killed his brother Remus during a quarrel and became the king of the city. Young and adventurous men for the most part joined him.
But to expand a city, both men and women are needed, but the Romans do not inspire confidence in the kings of the neighboring cities. They are very reluctant to marry their daughters to these young foreigners. So Romulus and his companions have an idea. They organize a festival in honor of the god Consus and invite the neighboring peoples.
The Sabines come with their daughters. At Romulus's signal, which consisted of wrapping himself in the folds of his cloak, the Romans captured the young girls and pushed their fathers aside. Then they took the Sabine women as wives. Titus Tatius, king of the Sabines, then declared war on the Romans. The war lasted until the Sabine women interposed themselves between their fathers and the Romans.
Titus Tatius and Romulus then shared the kingship for five years. When Titus Tatius died, he was solemnly buried on the Aventine Hill.
