	Samnite Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Samnite Wars were three wars between the early Roman Republic and the tribes of Samnium.
		The Second Samnite War 327-304 consisted of two phases, and was a long struggle for dominance.
		This phase of the war ended with the Battle of the Caudine Forks (Latin, Furculae Caudinae) in 321, when Samnite forces succeeded in ambushing a Roman army in a mountain valley and forcing its surrender.

	Second (Great) Samnite War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Samnites established a garrison in Neapolis -- a city inhabited by Greeks.
		The Romans soon confronted the Samnites of the middle Liris (modern Liri) River valley, sparking the Second, or Great, Samnite War (326-304 BC), which lasted twenty years and was not a defensive venture for Rome.
		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.

		The Samnites were a tribal group of Italians living in the Apenine Mountains of Southern Italy.
		The Romans were received rudely by the Samnites and in 343 Rome had declared war on Samnium.
		Rome however continued dominating the war and in 304 BC the Samnites sued for peace, ending the Second Samnite War.

		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.

		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 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.

	Second Samnite War
		The Samnites, of course, found this to be an unacceptable intrusion by Rome, but were too pre-occupied to respond immediately.
		The Romans had claimed that the Samnites were encouraging the people of Neapolis to expand into the territories of Campania and necessitated the creation of colonies in disputed areas.
		By the beginning of this renewed war, the Samnites controlled approximately twice as much territory, though mostly mountainous and not as fertile, as the Romans.

		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.

	The Republic
		In all wars of the fifth century BC the balance of victory lay with Rome and her allies.
		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.
		They had had little wars in Liguria and also in Istria, and in 221 BC their whole field force was in Illyria across the Adriatic destroying the league of pirates which had been harrying the east coast of Italy.

	Third Samnite War
		The Third Samnite War became the last desperate attempt of the Samnites to remain independent and were able to convince Rome’s old enemies to join against them once again.
		Early in the conflict, Rome shattered a Samnite army in the south, allowing attention to be focused on the Etruscans and Gauls in the north.
		The years surrounding the Samnite Wars were not only one of military prowess for Rome, but of great public works, as well.

		Not only did they win the Samnite wars and Italy for Rome, but, with a few modifications, they would eventually conquer the entire Mediterranean.
		The Second Samnite War was a long, hard fought affair that saw Rome initiate two other policies: road building and colonies.
		Because of their military reforms, roads, and colonies, the Romans finally defeated the Samnites in 304 B.C.E. They were lenient with their defeated enemies, but this allowed the Samnites to start a third war (298-290 B.C.E.).

		Hamilcar Barca invades Sicily in 247, and the war ends in 241 with a Roman naval victory.
		In the course of this war, Rome made allies, or sometimes enemies, of several of the major powers of the Greek heartland (the Aetolian League, Attalus I of Pergamum).
		Ongoing dynastic wars in the Near East (Anatolia, Syria-Palestine, and Egypt) which had been more or less continuous since the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE, soon involve Rome as a player.
