The abduction of the Sabine women happened when Romulus, the founder of Rome, invited the Sabines to a festival. During the event, Romulus and his men took the Sabine women to marry them. The Sabines got angry and went to war. But the women, now wives of the Romans, stopped the fighting by begging for peace. In the end, the Romans and Sabines made peace and joined together, making Rome stronger.

major battle in a Roman civil war between Constantine I and Maxentius. After the collapse of the Roman Empire’s Second Tetrarchy, Constantine and Maxentius asserted competing claims to the imperial throne. At Maxentius’s goading, Constantine invaded the Italian Peninsula. A lightning campaign saw Maxentius killed in battle at the Milvian Bridge on the outskirts of Rome. Constantine’s victory confirmed his role as ruler of the Western Empire. According to ancient sources, Constantine converted to Christianity just before the battle, which likely affected his decision to end Christian persecution and establish Christianity as the most favoured religion within the Roman Empire.

Antonines, the Roman emperors Antoninus Pius (reigned AD 138–161) and his adopted son and heir, Marcus Aurelius (reigned AD 161–180). The term (which derives from Antoninus’s name) is often extended to include Commodus, son of Marcus Aurelius, joint emperor with his father from 176 to Marcus Aurelius’s death in 180 and then sole emperor until his own death in 192. The period of the first two Antonine emperors (138–180) was one of great internal peace and prosperity, when the sense of security and the reconciliation of peoples was at their greatest throughout the Roman Empire. This period was chosen by the English historian Edward Gibbon as the beginning of his monumental and influential work History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire(1776–88). See also Five Good Emperors.

Battle of Zama, (202 BCE), victory of the Romans led by Scipio Africanus the Elder over the Carthaginians commanded by Hannibal. The last and decisive battle of the Second Punic War, it effectively ended both Hannibal’s command of Carthaginian forces and also Carthage’s chances to significantly oppose Rome. The battle took place at a site identified by the Roman historian Livy as Naraggara (now Sāqiyat Sīdī Yūsuf, Tunisia). The name Zama was given to the site (which modern historians have never precisely identified) by the Roman historian Cornelius Nepos about 150 years after the battle.
