c. 670 BC. After another interrex Tullus Hostilius was elected king. Conflict arose between Rome and Alba. However, the Alban king, Mettius, proposed that sovereignty should be settled by trial by combat between three champions on each side, so as to avoid bloodshed that would weaken the nation and expose them to Etruscan aggression. The Curiatii represented Alba and the Horatii Rome. In the fight the young Horatius was the only man left standing. However, his sister had been betrothed to one of the Curiatii and he killed her in rage when she was mourning her dead lover. Tulius arrested Horatius but contrived to have Horatius tried by the people, who acquitted him.
