king of See also:Cures, who waged See also:war upon the See also:Romans to avenge the See also:rape of the Sabine See also:women (see RoMU1.us). After various indecisive conflicts
the latter, who had become Roman matrons, intervened and prevailed upon the combatants to cease fighting. A formal treaty was then arranged between the Romans and Sabines, whereby See also:Romulus and Tatius were to be See also:joint and equal rulers of the Roman See also:people. See also:Rome was to retain its name and each See also:citizen was to be called a Roman, but as a community they were to be called See also:Quirites (q.v.); the Sabines were to be incorporated in the See also:state and admitted into the tribes and curies. After this arrangement had lasted for five years it came to an end by the See also:death of Tatius, who was killed out of revenge by the inhabitants of See also:Lavinium. According to See also:Mommsen, the See also:story of his death, (for which see See also:Plutarch) looka like an See also:historical version of the abolition of See also:blood-revenge. Tatius, who in some respects resembles Remus, is not an historical personage, but the See also:eponymous See also:hero of the religious See also:college called Sodales Titii. As to this See also:body See also:Tacitus expresses two different opinions, representing two different traditions: that it was introduced either by Tatius himself to preserve the Sabine cult in Rome; or by Romulus in See also:honour of Tatius, at whose See also:grave its members were See also:bound to offer a yearly See also:sacrifice. The sodales See also:fell into See also:abeyance at the end of the See also:republic, but were revived by See also:Augustus and existed to the end of the 2nd See also:century A.D. Augustus himself and the See also:emperor See also:Claudius belonged to the college, and all its members were of senatorial See also:rank. See also:Varro derives the name from the Titiae ayes which were used by the priests in certain auguries.
