The early history of Rome is legendary - that is it is a collection of stories without supporting factual evidence but rather a collection of commonly accepted tales.

It is apparent that Rome was initially a small village, which was involved in the mutual warfare with its neighbouring villages to get land for an expanding population. The other part is it being reputedly a refuge of all sorts of drifters, and these needed women, which they stole from neighbours. They made a successful women-stealing raid on the city of Sabinus which then set about retaliating, hence the story of war between them.

There are lots of variants, none of all this being supported by hard historical evidence.
