His reign was peaceful, and tradition attributes to him all the religious institutions of Rome, the creation of the three major flamines, those of Jupiter, Mars and Quirinus, the cult of Vesta, the designation of the first Vestals, the augurs, and the pontificate. He also established the calendar, adding two months, January and February, to the ten established by Romulus, distinguishing between auspicious and unsuccessful days, and establishing the days to be consecrated to solemn festivities.

Two soldiers, facing each other, each carrying off a Sabine woman in his arms.Crawford 344/1a; RBW -.The episode of the Rape of the Sabine Women is recounted by Livy and Plutarch. According to legend, among the many problems faced by the Romans was a shortage of women. Therefore, in order to ensure the future of the Roman race, various alliances were formed with the aim of finding a way to bring women from neighboring populations to Rome. One of the populations involved was that of the Sabines, who rejected the Roman proposal. Romulus and his companions then took advantage of the games in honor of the god Consus to invite the Sabines and kidnap the women, thus starting the war. But faced with the fact that their Sabine relatives and those who had meanwhile become their Roman husbands could be killed in battle, the women began to beg for an end to the massacre. As a result, what became known as the Rape of the Sabine Women led to a situation of peace and prosperity for the two peoples. Condition: Near extremely fine.Weight: 3.70 g. Diameter: 19 mm.

There are two versions of this myth, told by Propertius and Livy. The former presents the vestal virgin's betrayal as a consequence of her love for the king of the Sabines. According to Livy, however, Tarpeia was bribed by the enemy's gold: when she went outside the walls to draw water for the cult of Vesta, she was captured and punished for her behavior, ending up buried and crushed by the Sabine shields as illustrated on the reverse of the Denarius.
