Titus Tatius, traditionally the Sabine king who ruled with Romulus, the founder of Rome. It is unlikely that either Titus Tatius or Romulus was a historical personage. According to the legend, the conflict between the Romans and the Sabines began when Romulus invited the Sabines to a festival and abducted their women. Titus Tatius then seized Rome’s Capitoline Hill by bribing Tarpeia, daughter of the commander of the Roman guard. In the ensuing battle, fought in the valley between the Capitoline and Palatine hills, the Sabine women rushed into the fray and stopped the fighting. A formal treaty was drawn up uniting the Romans and Sabines under a dual kingship of Titus Tatius and Romulus.
