Conquered by the Romans in 311 BCE, Arretium became a military station on the via Cassia, the road to expansion by republican Rome into the basin of the Po.
Arretium sided with Marius in the Roman Civil War, and the victorious Sulla planted a colony of his veterans in the half-demolished city, as Arretium Fidens ("Faithful Arretium").
The city continued to flourish as Arretium Vetus ("Old Arretium"), the third largest city in Italy in the Augustan period, well-known in particular for its widely-exported pottery manufactures, the characteristic moulded and glazed Arretine ware, bucchero-ware of dark clay, and red-painted vases (the so-called "coral" vases).

 Livius Picture Archive: the battle of Sentinum (295 BCE)
Consul Flaminius was sent to Arretium (modern Arrezo) with two legions of 5,000 soldiers each, 10,000 Italian auxiliaries, 1,000 archers, 1,000 light-armed men, and between 2,500 and 3,500 cavalry.
This was a dangerous maneuver because it exposed his flank to Roman attacks, but Hannibal needed to force a battle with the consular army before it had united with the other Roman force.
So, Hannibal passed along the Roman army at Arretium and could proceed to Rome or to the east; in both cases, he would be trapped between the forces of Flaminius and another army.
