	History of the Hellenistic and Roman World
		At the end of the war, the majority of the Samnite communities had been incorporated into the Roman state.
		The Third Samnite War (298 - 290 BCE) was fought between the Romans on the one side, and a coalition consisting of Etruscans, Gauls, and Umbrians led by the Samnites.
		The Romans were able to exploit their central position between the allies, however, and Roman victories at the Battle of Sentinum (295 BCE) and Aquilonia (293 BCE) shattered the coalition and broke Samnite power decisively.

		The THIRD SAMNITE WAR was the final effort by the Samnites—aided by the Etruscans, Umbrians, and Gauls—to halt Roman domination.
		In 295 a large force of Samnites and Gauls was defeated at Sentinum, where a second Decius Mus was reputed to have secured a Roman victory by a devotio—that is, by seeking death in battle in exchange for divine assurance of Roman victory.
		WAR WITH PYRRHUS arose from Roman occupation of Thurii, a Greek city of Magna Graecia.

	Rome, The Samnite Wars
		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 BC), 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 BC) was the last desperate attempt of the Samnites to remain independent.

	Second (Great) Samnite War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		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.

	Samnite Wars Information
		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.
		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.

	Roman military history
		Before the First Punic War in 264 BC there was no Roman navy to speak of as all previous Roman war had been fought in Italy.
		The first few naval battles of the First Punic War were disasters for Rome, and it was not until the invention of the Corvus, a grappling engine which made it easier for Romans to board the Carthagenian vessels, that Rome was able to win the war.
		The third century saw a crisis in roman rule when a series of weak emperors and powerful invasions by outside forces saw the empire splinter into three parts, the core loyal to Rome, the west as the Gallic Empire, and the city of Palmyra ruling over much of the east.

		The chief organiser was Gellius Egnatius, a Samnite.
		The Samnites were encumbered with their booty, only a few were in fighting trim; some hurried on and drove before them the animals they had seized, others halted, undecided whether to go on or retreat to the camp; in the midst of their hesitation they were surrounded and cut off.
		As the Samnites were not in close pursuit there was space enough for the standards to wheel round and the whole army to change front from the camp to the enemy.

		Second Samnite War: Naples, again a developed and prosperous Greek city, seeks Roman aid against Samnites.
		Third Samnite War: Again Rome succeeded due to successful implementation of policy of interior lines, defeating her enemies separately.
		That Rome would wage such a war against all these forces at the same time is a sure indication of the overwhelming resources she commanded --four field legions (4x4500) with at least as many allies for a total of 37,000 or more(more than Alexander had taken to Asia).

		A century later the defeat of the combined Samnite, Celtic and Etruscan alliance by the Romans in the Third Samnite War sounded the end of the Celtic domination in Europe, but it was not until 192 BC that the Roman armies conquered the last remaining independent Celtic kingdoms in Italy.
		The Romans, however, pushed them back by the third century BC; native Europeans in the north, however, were not so lucky.
		Two Celtic tribes, the Cimbri and the Teutones ("Teuton," an ethnic for Germans, is derived from the Celtic root for "people"), emigrated east and settled in territory in Germany.
