January 672 BC: According to tradition, the friendly relations between the Romans and the population of Alba Longa had broken down and continuous disputes had arisen. The Roman king's response to the Albani's complaints was that the initiation of the quarrel had been their doing. And since both peoples had equal strength, and continued to weaken with frequent fighting, to shorten the war it was decided to resolve the dispute with a challenge between three twin brothers who represented on one side the Romans (the Horatii) and on the other the Albani (the Curiazi). Alba Longa was defeated and subjected to the Roman state.
