Begun while the artist was imprisoned during the Reign of Terror #it uses an ancient Roman myth—where Sabine women courageously stop a battle between their Roman husbands and Sabine fathers—#as a powerful metaphor for ending the bloodshed of the French Revolution #Painted in the aftermath of the French Revolution the artwork was a direct message to a fractured French public #Just as the warring Romans and Sabines ultimately reconciled to become one people David hoped his countrymen #would put down their weapons reconcile their political differences and rebuild the nation #Rather than showing the infamous violent abduction of the Sabine women David focused on its aftermath #The central figure Hersilia stands bravely between her Roman husband (Romulus) and her Sabine father (Titus Tatius)#By placing women and children at the center of the battlefield—acting as peacemakers and shields—#David highlighted the unifying humanizing power of family and maternal love over violence and politics #On a personal level the painting reflects David's own life. He planned and conceptualized the massive canvas while in prison #and it was reportedly inspired by his wife Charlotte who faithfully visited and supported him during his incarceration #The painting stands as a tribute to her love and a broader celebration of women's heroism #From a stylistic perspective the painting marked David's transition toward a Greek style emphasizing noble simplicity #and silent greatness. Furthermore by depicting the Sabine women as active heroic mediators rather than passive victims of war #the painting is often regarded as a significant and progressive step in historical art

I have a story about a possible post TOA series about the possible founding of Rome. The story involves a set of demigods (I would have to break the great prophecy canon-ish? because the main character was young enough to see the first war with Krios (is that the titan the Romans fought?) but also old enough so its been a hot while since the great prophecy since three of the series heroes are big three children.

It involves some unanswered questions and the nepotism issues and also a lot of new established character development for Camp Jupiter.

We get an explanation on why Romulus, despite being the founder of Rome and a hero who ascended to godhood didn’t blink an eye at any chaos that happened in the years (other than the brief mention of him getting his first temple at Jason’s death which could be an issue on why he hasn’t shown up at all).

If any Camp Jupiter fanatic like me wants to hear me yap about my characters, world building and plot feel free to intrude my DMs!!

The Intervention of the Sabine Women by Jacques-Louis David

The painting depicts Romulus's wife Hersilia – the daughter of Titus Tatius, leader of the Sabines – rushing between her husband and her father and placing her babies between them. A vigorous Romulus prepares to strike a half-retreating Tatius with his spear, but hesitates.

The rocky outcrop in the background is the Tarpeian Rock, a reference to civil conflict, since the Roman punishment for treason was to be thrown from the rock. According to legend, when Tatius attacked Rome, he almost succeeded in capturing the city because of the treason of the Vestal Virgin Tarpeia, daughter of Spurius Tarpeius, governor of the citadel on the Capitoline Hill. She opened the city gates for the Sabines in return for "what they bore on their arms". She believed that she would receive their golden bracelets. Instead, the Sabines crushed her to death and threw her from the rock, later named for her.
