Romolo aveva da poco fondato Roma, i cui abitanti erano pastori sbandati, esuli dei villaggi vicini, delinquenti messi al bando dai loro popoli, e le poche femmine che vivevano lì godevano di una dubbia reputazione. In assenza di donne in grado di procreare eredi, per Roma non ci sarebbe potuto essere futuro. Quando ogni città si rifiuta di concedere delle mogli a quel popolo malfamato, al re non resta altro che rapirle, ed è così che prende vita il ratto delle Sabine. Claudia viene da una delle famiglie più benestanti di Cures e il suo unico problema, fino a quel momento, era stato cercare di capire a chi i suoi genitori l'avevano promessa in sposa. Cetego ha trovato a Roma un senso per ripartire e non aspetta altro che l'opportunità giusta per poter ottenere una donna tutta sua da poter amare, e con cui poter costruire una famiglia. Il 21 Agosto 749 a.C. per entrambi cambierà tutto. Quest'opera è protetta da copyright, registrata su Patamu, nr. 132693. Ne sono vietate la vendita, la copia e la distribuzione non autorizzate.
