Numa Pompilius
Second king of Rome (traditionally 715-673 BCE), credited with founding Rome's religious institutions. A Sabine from Cures, he established the Vestal Virgins, the priestly colleges, the calendar of religious festivals, and the temple of Janus. His reign was one of unbroken peace, contrasting with the martial legacy of Romulus.
