jan 1, 326 BC - Second Samnite War

Description:

In 327 BC the Second Samnite War resulted from tensions between Romans and Neapolis, and the Roman army besieged Neapolis. Samnite and Nolan soldiers defended the city, and after a year-long siege betrayal lead to surrender to the Romans. Rome left the city with wide autonomy and allows its customs to survive, making a solidarity pact with particular attention as to its already important maritime role.
