Abstract
The beginning of Rome in Livy’s work covers three centuries in a row. The key events in that process were the foundation of the city by Romulus and the establishment of a political regime of respublica with the Sabins being participants in those events.
The presence of that people in Roman history is reflected in a Sabine named Titus Tatius who shared for a time royal power with Romulus, in the founding a sacerdotal collegia of the sodales Titii and in the resettlement of the Claudian family from the Sabine land to Rome at the beginning of the Republic. When the “Sabine topic” began to penetrate into annalistic tradition? What kind of real historical events were reflected in it? In this article the author tries to answer these questions.
