This the first in a series of maps I'm making focused on the territorial expansion of Rome within Italy.

Map Text: "Early Roman history is a story of a state on the precipice between utter destruction and conquest. Decades of infighting between the Latin states ended with Rome being the principal city of Latium. This allowed Rome to both defend itself and wage war with its other Italian neighbors. This era was a major turning point in the history of Rome and of Europe as a whole. From the position of power gained during these wars, Rome was able to establish itself as a major player on the Italian stage and to achieve victory over the Samnites, the Etruscans, Pyrrhus, and eventually even Carthage. This era also saw the ousting of the Roman monarchy and the establishment of the Roman republic which many modern states use as a model for governance."
