		We are in the period of the wars between Rome and Alba, in 669 B.C. It has been decided that the dispute between the two cities must be settled by an unusual form of combat to be fought by two groups of three champions each.
		The drama lay in the fact that one of the sisters of the Curiatii, Sabina, is married to one of the Horatii, while one of the sisters of the Horatii, Camilla, is betrothed to one of the Curiatii.
		Despite the ties between the two families, the Horatii's father exhorts his sons to fight the Curiatii and they obey, despite the lamentations of the women.

		It is very certain that they were called Horatii and Curiatii; nor is there any action among the ancients either more celebrated or better known; yet however distinctly the other circumstances of this story are related, a doubt remains concerning their names: to which nation the Horatii and to which the Curiatii belonged.
		But on their coming to grapple hand to hand, when not only the motions of their bodies and the brandishings of their dangerous weapons and arms but the very wounds and blood were seen, the three Albans were wounded and two of the Romans fell and expired the one above the other.
		And while the Alban army called out to the Curiatii to assist their brother, the victorious Horatius, having killed the first, was running to encounter the second.

		The painting "The Oath of the Horatii" http://rexcurry.net/pledgehoratii.html might have inspired (or enlarged) the myth of the Roman salute.
		Bellamy (the author of the pledge of allegiance) and Upham (with whom Bellamy worked) discussed the process of creating the original flag salute and the painting was not part of the process and it did not even arise in their discussion.
		The story was inspired by the wars between Rome and Alba, in 669 B.C. The painting depicts the three Roman brothers of the Horatii family pledging allegiance and gesturing toward weapons held by their father who exhorts his sons to fight.

	THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE & THE ROMAN SALUTE MYTH & THE OATH OF THE HORATII
		There is no evidence that the painting "The Oath of the Horatii" inspired the original straight-armed salute in the pledge of allegiance to the U.S. flag.
		The story was inspired by the wars between Rome and Alba, in 669 B.C. The painting depicts the three Roman brothers of the Horatii family giving their "oath" or assurance that they will fight and gesturing toward weapons held by their father who exhorts his sons to fight.
		The Oath of the Horatii had certain political repercussions in French society that heighten its importance and appeal, making it an immediate and unquestionable classic, precisely because of David's intention to provoke political discourse.

		He therefore made believe to run away, and was followed, as quickly as their strength allowed, by the Curiatii, who taunted him for his cowardice, and bade him stand and fight.
		To kill this second foe, weakened as he was by the loss of blood and by the efforts he had made to hurry, was but the work of a moment.

		The Oath of the Horatii by the French painter Jaques-Louis David (1748-1825) as an example of the kind of permanence we found.
		The two tribes decided that rather than commit their entire armies to battle, their conflict could be settled more economically by simply having the Horatii and Curiatii fight each other to the death; and swearing that the losing tribe would surrender its liberty to the victor of that limited combat.
		It may well be, however, that the Curiatii were the Roman heroes and the Horatii were the Albans, and, as in some absurdist existential drama worthy of Anouilh, the Romans had for centuries celebrated the virtue of an enemy.
