Early Conquests of the Roman Republic


  1. Who was Rome's enemy? (Describe the group of people and important leaders) 
  2. Why did it start? Rome wants to expand their territory. First Samnite War: In Capua, the Campani people gave Rome their land rather than have it fall into the hands of invaders (Samnites). Rome had already negotiated a peace treaty with the Samnites, so the Romans sent emissaries to tell the Samnites that Capua was under Romes protection. This caused war to break out. Rome won after two years of fighting. Latin War: The Latins were threatened by Romes growing power. 
  3. Where and when did the wars take place?In Capua; First Samnite war (343-341 BCE), Latin War (340-338 BCE), second Samnite war (326-304 BCE), Third Samnite war (298- 290 BCE), The Pyrrhic war (280-275 BCE),
