The Rape of the Sabine Women (Latin: Sabinae raptae Classical Latin: [saˈbiː.nae̯ ˈrap.t̪ae̯]), also known as the Abduction of the Sabine Women or the Kidnapping of the Sabine Women, was an incident in the legendary history of Rome in which the men of Rome committed a mass abduction of young women from the other cities in the region. It has been a frequent subject of painters and sculptors, particularly since the Renaissance.
The word "rape" (cognate with rapto in Portuguese and other Romance languages, meaning "kidnap") is the conventional translation of the Latin word raptio used in the ancient accounts of the incident. The Latin word means "abduction" or "kidnapping", but when used with women as its object sexual assault[2] is usually implied.
