(a) _Extension of Territory by Conquest between 367 and 133_.
1. Caere submitted in 353, yielding all southern Etruria to Rome.
2. Volcian territory and all Latium fell to Rome at the close of the Latin
war in 339.
3. Capua, taken in 337.
4. Cales, taken in 334. In this struggle all Campania became Roman
territory.
5. Sabine territory submitted in 290.
6. Tarentum, captured in 272.
7. Rhegium, captured in 270.
8. The Galli Senones were destroyed in 283 and their whole territory
(Umbria) was confiscated.
9. In 293, Liguria and Transpadana Gallia were added to the Roman
confederation.
10. In 222, Italy was extended to its natural boundary, the Alps, by the
subjugation of the Gauls north of the Po. Of the entire territory of Italy,
93,640 square miles, fully one-third belonged to Rome. Thus, in the 287
years of the Republic, Roman territory had expanded from 115, to 31,200
square[1] miles.
At the close of the war with Hannibal, Rome further added to her territory
by the confiscation of the greater part of the Gallic territory, Campania,
Samnium, Apulia, Lucania, and Bruttii.
(b) _Colonies Founded between 367 and 133._
