The Sabine Virgins robbery is a mythical occurrence from just after the founding of the city of Rome.
Here it is called, Rape of the Sabine Woman.
Romulus spread Rome's reputation as a haven for all who wanted a new life. As a result, Rome attracted a population of exiles, refugees, murderers, criminals and fugitive slaves. Romulus' population grew so much that the city expanded over five of the seven hills surrounding it: the Capitoline, the Aventine, the Coelius, the Quirinal, and the Palatine. Romulus, however, saw a problem fast approaching. While the city was filling up with foreigners, there were very few women among them, so Romulus decided that he needed to fill his city with women as well. Romulus had a plan to kidnap the Sabine women and take them to Rome as his citizens.
