	Samnite Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The war was ended by a hasty peace, owing to the revolt of Rome's Latin allies who resented their dependence on the dominant city.
		Despite its brevity the First Samnite War resulted in the major acquisition to the Roman state of the rich land of Campania with its capital of Capua.
		During these same years Rome organized a rudimentary navy, constructed its first military roads (construction of the Via Appia was begun in 312 BC and of the Via Valeria in 306), and increased the size of its annual military levy as seen from the increase of annually elected military tribunes from 6 to 16.
