After the founding of Rome in 753 BC Romulo, King of Rome cared to populate it. For this he made his a refuge and people came from all places and classes like slaves, vagrants, banished, etc. Despite this, Romulo had been satisfied with the achievements. He and his hundred men called "fathers of the Fatherland or patricians " would be sufficient to maintain order and that there would be prosperity throughout the city. But women were missing to ensure the offspring, so he gathered the patrician who would form the Senate and thus express the problem of the new city, after long discussions it was decided to send delegates through the neighboring towns explaining the situation of Rome.

All the peoples rejected the Roman requests, because of this Romulo using cunning organized a feast in honor of the Neptune God, in which there would be magnificent horse races. People came from all the towns, but the most numerous were those of Sabinia, where the men brought their wives with their children. So when everyone was focused on the race, Romulo gave the signal and each man took a young woman they found. The visitors returned to their cities swearing revenge of Rome, Romulo would visit each one of the kidnapped young people and the Apaciguo, stating that no evil would fall upon them and that they wanted to be matrimoniaran with their subjects, telling them to be treated well to His companions and who sought to win their love, the Sabine women accepted and gave consent in founding the new Roman homes.

The populations whose daughters were kidnapped lost in each confrontation against the Romans trying to rescue their daughters without knowing the agreement, although the Sabines managed to enter to Rome the Sabine women intervened in combat with their children in hand and in the end gave the Signing of a treaty of alliance between Sabinia and Rome, where Romulo king of Rome would govern jointly with Tito Tatius King of Sabinia until the death of the second where Romulo would jointly govern the two peoples.
