[Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Image] Description: We are pleased to offer this genuine 2000+ year old Roman Republican silver Denarius of L. Titurius L.f. Sabinus for your consideration. This desirable coin was minted in Rome in 89 BC and commemorates the dramatic myth associated with the founding of Rome and the rape of the Sabine women. This event was believed to have occurred during the time of Rome's first legendary ruler, Romulus. It was during his reign that Roman citizenship was granted to criminals and cast-offs from other societies which helped swell the population of Rome, but left it very short on women to marry. To solve this problem, the Romans decided to obtain wives by force from the neighboring tribe of the Sabines. Through crafty deception they convinced the Sabines to join with them in an upcoming religious celebration. Unarmed and unprepared, the Sabines ( with their wives and daughters ) attended only to find their women taken captive by the Romans. Three years later the Sabines returned for revenge and successfully breached the Palatine defenses, but their now reconciled women ( with children in tow ) threw themselves between the parties and begged mercy for their Roman husbands.
