Samnite War, Second, or Great

Years: 327BCE - 304BCE

In 327, war breaks out again between Samnite hill people and those on Campania's plain.

The Samnites establish a garrison in Neapolis — a city inhabited by Greeks.

Again people of the plain seek Rome's assistance, and again Rome goes to war against the Samnites.

"Not to know what happened before you were born is to be a child forever. For what is the time of a man except it be interwoven with that memory of ancient things of a superior age?"

― Marcus Tullius Cicero, Orator (46 BCE)
