	Samnite Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Samnite Wars were three wars between the early Roman Republic and the tribes of Samnium.
		The most powerful group of the highlanders, the confederated Samnites, were now, in the middle of the fourth century, swarming down upon their civilized precursors in Campania, as, farther east and south, Lucanians and Bruttians were pressing upon the Greek colonies of Magna Gracia.
		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.

		In the first part, the Romans attempted to encircle the Samnites, but were trapped at the Battle of the Caudine Forks and forced to surrender.
		Their next strategy was to establish colonies and build the Via Appia to improve access to Capua, and in the end even the Samnite attempt to bring in the Etruscans did not prevail.
		The Samnites again formed an alliance with the Etruscans, and added the Gauls, but in the battle of Sentinum in 295, the Romans defeated the combined force.

		Wars against the Expelled Kings and neighboring Etruscans, 510-410 BC Wars against the Gauls and neighboring Italians 390-380
		Through conflict with Samnite mountain tribes and Gallic and Spanish warriors elsewhere, the Romans adapted to the use of throwing spears as missiles and hand-to-hand combat with short "Spanish" swords.
		The Romans claimed to have always fought “just wars.” The meaning of this was largely religious: the Romans always attempted to conduct the necessary rituals preliminary to open conflict with an adversary.

		The Samnites, however, continued their warlike behavior for some time thereafter, aiding Hannibal in his campaigns against Rome and fighting against Sulla in the Social War (89-88 BC), who repaid the favor by decimating the Samnite population.
		The Second Samnite War saw significant reforms of the Roman military, including creation of the maniple and adoption of the scutum (shield) and pilum (heavy javelin), the later two of which may have been copied from the Samnites.
		Both Samnite cities were burned to the ground, and Rome continued to grab Samnite territory and seize plunder, including a meticulously recorded 2.5 million pounds of bronze and 1830 pounds of silver.

	The Samnite Wars (341-290 B.C.)
		Both the rugged terrain and the tough Samnite soldiers proved to be formidable challenges, which forced Rome to adopt military innovations that were later important for conquering the Mediterranean.
		Despite its brevity (343-341 B.C.), the First Samnite War resulted in the major acquisition to the Roman state of the rich land of Campania with its capital of Capua.
		The Third Samnite War (298-290 B.C.) was the last desperate attempt of the Samnites to remain independent.

		The Rise of the Roman Republic deals with four distinct military phases of Roman ascendancy: The Samnite Wars; the invasion of Alexander of Molossia; the invasion of Pyrrhus of Epirus; and the invasion of Hannibal, otherwise known as the Second Punic War.
		The struggle to unite the Italian peninsula under Roman rule begins with the Samnite Wars of the late 4th Century B.C.E. Italia during this period was a land awash with fractious tribes whose shifting alliances maintained a precious balance of power.
		Not until the Second Samnite War did the Romans decisively rout the Samnites, who, after several devastating defeats, continued to raise larger and larger armies in a glorious display of Herculean denial.

		He exaggerated the difficulty of the war if it should be necessary to put down such a large body of men, who would fight with the energy of despair.
		While the Samnites were raiding and plundering the territory of Fregellae, the Romans captured eighty-one villages belonging to the Samnites and the Daunii, slew 21,000 of their men, and drove them out of the Fregellian country.
		Again the Samnites sent ambassadors to Rome bringing the dead bodies of the men whom they had executed as guilty of causing the war, and also gold taken from their store.

		In Sicily the first war broke out between Rome and Carthage, resulting in, at first, a series of victories for Carthage until Rome refitted its navy using a captured Carthaginian vessel as a model.
		The war ended when the two signed a treaty giving Rome control of Sicily, but in 238 BC the mercenary troops of Carthage revolted and Rome took the opportunity to capture Corsica away from Carthage.
		The Carthaginians refused and Rome declared war, placing command to Scipio Aemilianus, who besieged the city for three long years before breaching the walls and sacking Carthage, even, according to legend, going so far as to sow salt into the earth so that nothing might ever grown again in Carthage.

		The cities in Campania revolted, the Samnites conquered Luceria in Apulia and Fregellae on the Liris, and gained an important victory in the south of Latium near Anxur.
		This war is known as the third Samnite war, but it was in fact a war between Rome and the principal nations of Italy—the Samnites, the Umbrians, the Etruscans, and the Gauls.
		The Samnites, on the contrary, were obliged to depend upon forces which were scattered from one end of the peninsula to the other.

		Theoretically the king was an absolute monarch; he led the army in war, conducted important religious ceremonies as the chief priest, and passed sentences as the supreme judge.
		The Samnites let the legions go in return for a favorable peace treaty and the Romans were so discouraged that they kept the treaty for four years.
		War between the two western republics was probably inevitable, because after the war with Pyrrhus, Rome and Carthage thought the world was no longer big enough for both of them.

	Samnite Wars - History of the Roman Empire
		In the 340's BC, while Philip II of Macedonia (father of Alexander the Great) was occupied with the Persians to the east, war in Italy broke out on the plains of Campania, near the Greek colony of Neapolis (Naples).
		The most powerful group of the highland Sabellian people, the Samnites, in the middle of the fourth century, were invading into Campania and taking territory easily.
		The warlike Samnites far outmatched their civilized neighbors and found the fertile lands a much better place for herding than the rough hills of the Appenines.

		Samnite Wars Campaign is our first finished game.
		Our work is based on Livy Rome History, mainly for warfare flavour of this era, on "Samnium and the Samnites" of E.T. Salmon, for historical accuracy about Samnites and their war power, and on "Magna Graecia" of Rob Smith, for game system.
		Furthermore, in that age there weren't permanent armies, and not every one of twenty and more years war lasted, there were battles between Roman and Samnite armies; so this war is not suitable to a full strategic game, with rules typical of multi years games.
