As recounted by Livy, the episode takes place in the 8th century B.C., when the early Romans, seeking to secure wives, abduct women from the neighboring Sabine tribe during a solemn festival. The dramatic climax of the tale occurs when the Sabine women, now wives and mothers, heroically interpose themselves between the warring armies of their fathers and husbands, halting the bloodshed and forging peace."
