The background
editThat castle bears a striking resemblance to the Bastille, maybe some reference should be added to the article if it is of any relevance (Fdsdh1 (talk) 23:53, 24 November 2012 (UTC))
Inconsistent mythology
editThis article states "The painting depicts Romulus's wife Hersilia — the daughter of Titus Tatius, leader of the Sabines ..." However, according to the page Titus Tatius "He had one daughter Tatia, who married Numa Pompilius (Romulus's successor) ..."
So which is it (or did one woman have two names and two husbands)? Maybe myths are allowed inconsistency but Wikipedia articles should not be contradictory. If the story is known to have several versions then an explanatory note appears warranted.
Incomplete lists of other pages stating that Tatia was the daughter of Titus Tatius and maried Romulus's successor:
Or that Hersilia was the daughter of Titus Tatius and Romulus's wife:
