15 Tarpeia, one of the maidens of honourable estate, was the guardian of the Capitol when the Romans were warring against the Sabines. She promised Tatius that she would give him entry to the Tarpeian Rock if she received as pay the necklacesThe usual specification was what they bore on their left arms (cf. Life of Romulus, xvii. (27 f-28 d); Livy, i. 11), but, to judge from Stobaeus’s version of the preceding paragraph, its source probably contained necklaces, and so a strict parallelism requires necklace here! which the Sabines wore for adornment. The Sabines understood the import and buried her alive. So Aristeides the Milesian in his Italian History.
