#6 - Armies of the Early Republic
Between 514 B.C. and 284 B.C., Rome fought numerous wars with her neighbors. As the chief partner of the Latin League, Rome led the armies that eventually conquered the Etruscans, the Samnites and even Pyrrhus, king of Epirus. Pyrrhus had invaded Italy with an army of 25,000 Macedonians and 20 elephants. His ‘‘Pyrric Victories" eventually led to his retreat back to Epirus. Interestingly, the Carthaginians had fought Pyrrhus during this same period which made Rome and Carthage distant allies. The end of the Pyrrhic war found Rome in command of southern Italy and a top military power in the Mediterranean.
