  1. HoratiiCuriatii

  2. According to Livy: • During the reign of Tullus Histilius, the Romans and Albans found themselves at war with each other. When the two sides met in the field of Hostilius for battle, the king of Alba Longa decided to avoid un-needed bloodshed. Both sides happened to have a set of male triplets. These six men were called the Horatii (Romans) and Curiatii (Albans) and fought as champions for each side.

  3. Histilius Tullo regnante, bellum inter Romanos et Albanos versabantur. Cum utraque Hostilius occurrit in campo pugnae constituit rex Albae Longae opus sa-ne sanguinis. Vtrimque forte a triplets maris. Haec dicta sex Horatii (Romans) and Curiatiis (Albani), pugnavitque ut pugiles omni parte.

  4. During Battle: • The champions fought in the field of Histilius. During the battle, all three Curiatii were wounded, and two of the Horatii were killed. The third Horatii, Publius, tried to flee. Because of their wounds, the Curiatii got separated from one another when they tried to chase him. Thus, Publius was able to kill the Curiatii one by one.

  5. In acie pugnabant et vindices Histilius. Inter proelium et ceciderunt vulnerati tribus Curiatiis et duobus Horatii caesi. Tertia Horatii P. temptavit fugere. Propter vulnera, Curiatios got a exertus ut invicem se sequi. Ita singulorum P. Curiatios posset occidere.

  6. Aftermath: • Publius returned home with the spoils of his victory. Upon his return, his sister realized that one of the Curiatii had been her betrothed. She wept for his death. When he realized this, Publius drew out his sword and stabbed her claiming, "So perish any Roman woman who mourns the enemy." • Publius was sentenced to death for his crime. On trial, however, Publius’s father’s pleaded for his life and he was spared by an appeal to the people.

  7. Publius spolia victor redit. In reditu eius cognoverunt quod uni ex Curiatiis fuerat, soror sponsi. Donec fleret interitum. Cum hoc fit, Publius transfigit suo exemit gladium suum, dicentes: 'Sic eat mulier Romanum lugebit hostem. "Publius damnatus capite pro scelere. De iudicio autem patrem Publii scriptor dicatur vita erat appellatio pepercit populo.
