Scope note

  • the subject: In Livy's Roman History, to spare lives the ancient tribes of the Romans and the Albans each delegated three warriors to engage in a battle that would settle a larger dispute. When the Roman Horatius, the lone survivor, returned victorious, he found his sister Camilla, who had been engaged to one of his opponents, mourning her slain fiancé. Angered by her unpatriotic response, Horatius killed her. [http://www.metmuseum.org/Works_Of_Art/recent_acquisitions/1998/co_rec_eur_1998_203.asp]
