I was reading up on this people called the "Romans", who lived in Latium and apparently posed a formidable threat to the Samnite League during the latter's unification of the Italian peninsula. They were eventually conquered and annexed into the League. Their language, Latin, died out a few hundred years later.
I was wondering if the Romans could have halted the Samnites any more significantly than they did OTL, and what effect this would have had on the Samnites' expansion and the League's transition to the Samnite Realm.
