The year is 328 BCE and once again tension in Central Italy is beginning to rise. The Samnites and the Romans were locked in a fierce battle for influence over the region. So far, it seemed as though the Romans were the clear favorites. They had just recently humiliated the Samnites in the 1st Samnite Roman War during the years of 343, 342, 341 BCE. With their victory Rome had not only managed to push the border between the two polities further into what had been recognized Samnite territory but they had also managed to gain the allegiance or at least the cooperation of the Campanians, a very rich people located in, you guessed it, Campania. In the intervening years, a period of about 13 years, the Romans and the Samnites had not directly challenged one another. Instead, they had been competing in an influence war. Rome would gain the allegiance of alliance of a city-state here while the Samnites would gain the same with a city-state over here. This game though was about to change and with this change a new war would break out that would decide who could lay claim to Central Italy. It was time for a more direct conflict to begin. What caused this change? Why did war break out? And who would ultimately be victorious? Let’s talk about it.
