    Tatius is the legendary king of the Sabines. After the kidnapping, Sabinek started a war with Romulus. He won (thanks to Tarpea's betrayal) the Capitol. The request of the kidnapped Sabine women, Roman wives, contributed to the conclusion of peace. Tatius and Romulus ruled together from then on.
