Did Romans ever rape their enemies?

This one does

The Eagle depiction of this formation is the most realistic I've seen yet. Highly recommend that movie if you want to see how real battles went don't in ancient times

What the fuck is their problem? It's not MY fault they couldn't kill some filthy forest-dwellers, but now our tax money is being spent on this ridiculous, rickety wall while every day fewer troops are sent to actually STOP said forest-dwellers from stealing our shit. Fucking assholes.

"Meanwhile, news of the advance of the Byzantine army soon reached Antioch. Realising that he had no hope of defeating Manuel, Raynald also knew that he could not expect any help from king Baldwin III of Jerusalem. Baldwin did not approve of Raynald's attack on Cyprus, and in any case had already made an agreement with Manuel. Thus isolated and abandoned by his allies, Raynald decided that abject submission was his only hope. He appeared before the Emperor, dressed in a sack with a rope tied around his neck, and begged for forgiveness. Manuel at first ignored the prostrate Raynald, chatting with his courtiers; William of Tyre commented that this ignominious scene continued for so long that all present were "disgusted" by it. Eventually, Manuel forgave Raynald on condition that he would become a vassal of the Empire, effectively surrendering the independence of Antioch to Byzantium."

Yes. It was institutional. Every time a city was sacked or barbarian village raided (which was basically the main job of the legions from Augustus onwards when raid and counter-raid were the name of the day) Roman soldiers would as part of the spoils of war, be entitled to rape any woman, boy or girl they saw. It's hard now to imagine how normal it was at the time, but it was basically the fate of every single city that was ever captured by them once 'the ram had touched the wall' which was a Roman proverb for no quarter.
Adam Butler
Ironically, they acted like the barbarians they called most non-romans. Rome should have fell sooner.
Joseph Thompson
The Roman Empire was literally founded on rape
Jayden Edwards
Who are you? I've seen you posting all day about how Rome was horrible and should've fallen sooner.
Are you a Carthaginian? Still assmad that Roma Invicta destroyed your shithole of a city and salted your gay ass fields? Why don't you go murder a child for your fertility memegod Hamilcar?
Charles Reed
You are heavily exaggerating.
Rape was widespread, as with any conquest, but it was nothing near institutional or as rampant as you state.
Aiden Ortiz
Wasn't a rape, was more of a kidnaping. The women chose to remain with the Romans.

That's what rape means, in its original denotation. To carry something or someone off to another location. Abduction, or less commonly theft. Forced sexual use was implied, but not part of the core definition, until it was gradually replaced.
Ryan Ward
What? No. Just pissed that faggots on /v/ like to romanticise Rome as a peak of western civilization when it clearly wasn't. Degeneracy, trampling on smaller nations, slavery, etc.
Not to mention they were lucky on multiple occasions. Based Geiseric did good sacking Rome.
Parker Price
What sources do they use for The Rape of the Sabine Women? Anyone knows?
Who is the author(s)?
Cooper Martinez
Livy (Titus Livius), Ab Urbe Condita.
It's the most prolific source that I can find at least, and goes over it the most detail I've seen.
