Roman expansion in Italy

Roman conquest of Italy from 588 BC to 7 BC

The Roman expansion in Italy covers a series of conflicts in which Rome grew from being a small Italian city-state to being the ruler of the Italian region. Roman tradition attributes to the Roman kings the first war against the Sabines and the first conquests around the Alban Hills and down to the coast of Latium. The birth of the Roman Republic after the overthrow of the Etruscan monarch of Rome in 509 BC began a series of major wars between the Romans and the Etruscans.
