HORATII, three Roman brothers, who, under the reign of Tullus Hostilius, fought against the three Curiatii, who belonged to the Albanian army. Two of the Horatii were first killed; but the third, by his address, successively slew the three Curiatii, and by this victory rendered the city of Alba subject to the Romans. See ROME.
