A member of an ancient people of central
Italy, conquered by the Romans and
amalgamated with them in the 3rd century BC.
The so-called rape of the Sabine women - a
mythical attempt by Romulus in the early days
of Rome to carry off the Sabine women to
colonize the new city - is frequently
depicted in art.
