§1.13.1Tum Sabinae mulieres, quarum ex iniuria bellum ortum erat, crinibus passis scissaque veste victo malis muliebri pavore ausae se inter tela volantia inferre, ex transverso impetu facto dirimere infestas acies, §1.13.2dirimere iras, hinc patres hinc viros orantes, ne se sanguine nefando soceri generique respergerent, ne parricidio macularent partus suos, nepotum illi, hi liberum progeniem.
Then the Sabine women, from whose injury the war had arisen, with disheveled hair and torn garments, their womanly fear overcome by their misfortunes, dared to fling themselves between the flying weapons, and making a charge from the side, parted the hostile ranks, and parted their anger, entreating on one side their fathers and on the other their husbands, not to stain themselves with the impious blood of father-in-law and son-in-law, nor to defile their own offspring with parricide, who were the grandsons of the former and the children of the latter.
§1.13.3“si adfinitatis inter vos, si conubii piget, in nos vertite iras; nos causa belli, nos vulnerum ac caedium viris ac parentibus sumus; melius peribimus quam sine alteris vestrum viduae aut orbae vivemus. ” §1.13.4movet res cum multitudinem tum duces; §1.13.5silentium et repentina fit quies; inde ad foedus faciendum duces prodeunt; nec pacem modo, sed civitatem unam ex duabus faciunt.
"If you are weary of the kinship between you, if you are weary of the marriage, turn your anger against us; we are the cause of the war, we are the cause of wounds and slaughter to our husbands and parents; we shall die better than live as widows or orphans without one or the other of you." This circumstance moved both the multitude and the leaders; silence and a sudden quiet ensued; then the leaders came forward to make a treaty; and they not only made peace, but made one state out of two.
regnum consociant; imperium omne conferunt Romam.
They shared the kingdom; they transferred all sovereign power to Rome.
ita geminata urbe, ut Sabinis tamen aliquid daretur, Quirites a Curibus appellati.
Thus the city was doubled, yet, so that something might be given to the Sabines, they were called "Quirites" from Cures.
monumentum eius pugnae, ubi primum ex profunda emersus palude equus Curtium in vado statuit, Curtium lacum appellarunt.
As a monument of that battle, they called the place where the horse, having first emerged from the deep swamp, established Curtius in the shallow water, the "Lacian Lake" (Lake Curtius).
§1.13.6ex bello tam tristi laeta repente pax cariores Sabinas viris ac parentibus et ante omnes Romulo ipsi fecit.
After so sorrowful a war, a joyful peace suddenly made the Sabine women more beloved by their husbands and parents, and above all, by Romulus himself.
§1.13.7itaque, cum populum in curias triginta divideret, nomina earum curiis inposuit.
Therefore, when he divided the people into thirty curiae, he imposed their names upon the curiae.
id non traditur, cum haud dubie aliquanto numerus maior hoc mulierum fuerit, aetate an dignitatibus suis virorumve an sorte lectae sint, quae nomina curiis darent.
Since the number of the women was undoubtedly somewhat greater than this, it is not recorded whether they were chosen by age, or by their own or their husbands' dignity, or by lot, to give their names to the curiae.
§1.13.8eodem tempore et centuriae tres equitum conscriptae sunt: Ramnenses ab Romulo, ab T. Tatio Titienses appellati;
At the same time, three centuries of knights were also enrolled: the Ramnenses were named after Romulus, the Titienses after T.
Lucerum nominis et originis causa incerta est.
Tatius; the reason for the name and origin of the Luceres is uncertain.
inde non modo commune sed concors etiam regnum duobus regibus fuit.
From that time on, the kingdom was not only shared but also harmonious between the two kings.
