The expansion of Rome across Italy
During the Era of the Kings, Rome had gained the supremacy of Lazio. It was the
strongest bulwark against the attempts of nearby populations (Etruscans, Equi and
Volscians) to invade the Tiber valley. They tried to pass the borders attracted by the
fertile plain. Its strength allowed Rome to organize a Latin league, made up by
several Latin towns under the lead of Rome.
So town by town, Rome first conquered Italy, than spread through the Mediterranean
area reaching the Euphrate on the east and Britain on the north.
