spolia opima
  54

Spolia opima : Rich spolios , copious trophies consisting of weapons , armor and shield of the defeated enemy in individual combat replacing battles between armies . It seems that there were three counted cases of spolia opima because Rome with its legions had victory almost certainly. In the first Romulus killed Agronomus, king of the ceninetes, in the confrontation of the Rapture of the Sabines in which the Romans were short of women, as Plutarch tells us in Parallel Lives.
