Description: Map of the vicinity of Rome showing the area claimed by the Samnites and the Greek city south of Rome: Capua. ̉The Samnites so distressed one of these cities, Capua, that she called on the Romans to help her, in the year 343. This was the beginning of the Samnite wars, which lasted more than 50 years, that is, to the year 290. — Creighton, 1890
