According to one story (Fest. 220, 363) the name was changed because Tatius forced Romulus to an agreement that this gate should always be open to the Sabines-quod semper pateret; according to another version (Polyaen. viii. 25) the attack on the Capitoline was made by the Gauls, and the agreement was with them.
