	Roots of the Circus Maximus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		These ancient festivals gradually lost their original meaning as the center of Roman life became that of the city rather than an agricultural focus; however, the Roman people greatly admired their past and were conservative in their festivals, continuing to celebrate them long after the original purpose was forgotten.
		It is certain that there were horse-races in the Circus maximus at one of the two Consualia, and as Dionysius connects them with the day of the Rape of the Sabines, which Plutarch puts in August, we may be fairly sure that they took place at the August festival (Fowler 208).
		Religion was the pervading construct of the early Romans lives; it was the center of their lives both domestically and socially.

		All nastiness was immediately forgotten, the Sabine women (presumably holding this over their husbands' heads for the rest of their natural lives) were treated like queens, and the rest is history.
