Only half? That's so civilised. Inter tribal wars ended with all the men dead or in slavery, all the old women murdered and all the young women taken in as sex slaves. Same for the children too.

Well yes, that's true. But one could consider the central Italian unification wars as even nastier affairs. However yes, its not like Romans were not as brutal in other periods as they were in social wars...
