Titus Tatius, a Sabine king, co-ruled with Romulus for five years, until he was murdered for revenge by the people of the Latin city of Lavinium. He attacked Rome with his Sabine followers , but made peace and settled on the Quirinal and Viminal Hills. These Sabines were integrated into the Roman state and its political structures. Thus, the Romans saw themselves as the product of a fusion between Latins and Sabines. The citizens' name remained Roman, but the community was also called Quirites, a name derived from the Sabine god Quirinus, who also became a Roman god. Titus Tatius is not listed among the seven kings of Rome because he ruled only temporarily.

Just a slight addenda to the above. the term "Quirites" comes from this early time span and it is used as a form of address to Roman citizens. It's the Q in SPQR.

SPQR stood for Senatum Populesque Romanum which means The Senate and the People of Rome. The Q stood for the que in populesque, which is a particle added to populus (the people) which means"and" connecting the two nominative nouns. It has nothing to do with quirites. SPQR dated from a much later time, it referred to the government of the republic. As for the term quirite, my text does imply that it dates from the time of Romulus by the fact that it was derived from the Sabine god Quirinus and Latins and Sabines fused at the time of Romulus.
