Third Samnite War
Mar 30, 2004
Closing out a series of Samnite Wars the Third Samnite War put an end to threats from Rome’s neighbors in Central Italy and left only the Greek city-state of Tarentum as opposition on the Italian Peninsula. Final victory over the Samnites consolidated Rome’s strength in Italy, but also exposed her to more dangerous threats abroad, such as the Greeks and Carthaginians.
