Tito advances. The Ruminales attack a Sabine garrison and as all seems lost, a contingent led by Wiros, charges. Yemos is wounded and the priestess Ersilia proposes to take him to the Tusci.
Yemos is dying and Ersilia takes Wiros to the village where she grew up to be treated; Titos is furious with Servios and the others who have retreated into the woods.
Wiros surrenders to the Sabines and cedes the city of Rome; a woman leaves a cloak on the shoulders of the chained ex-king which leaves Tito distraught.
