  • Are there any sources for the claims added by User:207.200.116.12? Specifically "The Horatii brothers had sisters as well. One sister was engaded to a Curiatii, and a Curiatii girl was married to a Horaitii man. Upon defeat of the Curatii, the remaining Horatii journyed home to find his sister cursing rome over the death of her fiance. The Horatii brother killed her, horrified of Rome being cursed".
  • The rest of that edit reads like an essay and should be removed.
  • Facts about the story belong into Horatii, not the article about the painting. Rl 08:44, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
This [1] seems to suggest that User:207.200.116.12 is right. I'll remove the offending text and try integrating it with Horatii. –Ham 19:08, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
The "offending text" is entirely accurate. It is also relevant because it partly explains the despair of the women, and it is worth noting that David at first intended to decpict the death of the sister at the hands of her brother. I am reinstating it. Paul B 20:36, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
