Romulus Audiobook: Chapter 11 - The Captive Brides: Sabine Women into Rome | Makers of History

In Chapter 11 of our 'Romulus' series on Alexandria, titled 'The Captive Brides: Sabine Women into Rome' (originally 'Wives'), set in 751 BC, we explore a critical and controversial chapter in the formation of Rome. With the city burgeoning under Romulus’s rule, a stark imbalance emerges: the city's population is predominantly male. Addressing this, Romulus orchestrates a bold and morally ambiguous plan to ensure the city's longevity and social balance.

In a cunning ruse, Romulus invites neighboring tribes to a grand festival in Rome. The event, however, serves as a cover for a premeditated scheme – amidst the revelry, Roman men abduct Sabine women to provide wives for Rome's bachelors. This brazen act not only secures the future of Rome but also sows the seeds of future conflict and integration challenges.

The narrative delves deep into Romulus’s strategic mindset, the initial resistance and eventual acceptance of the Sabine women, and the broader implications for Rome’s societal structure. 'The Captive Brides: Sabine Women into Rome' is a complex tale of power, strategy, and survival, illustrating the lengths to which Rome's founder went to secure his city's future.
