Hmmm ... I've heard sub iugum explained (by the religion experts) either as an act of priestly initiation or as an act of purification. But neither explanation would seem to fit the circumstances of the Caudine Forks.
Did the men have to utter some sort of oath when they passed under the yoke, putting the ritual into a religious context?
