| | Finally, Roman victories at Vadimonian Lake (310 BC) and Bovianum Vetus (304 BC) brought the war to a simmering end, even as Rome was heavily engaged in the north, defeating the Etruscans (310 BC) and suppressing revolts by the Umbrians and Hernici (307 BC). | | | Meanwhile Pyrrhus had left Tarentum for Syracuse on Sicily, where he became involved in local conflicts with the Carthaginians. | | | The primary historical sources on the Samnite Wars are Livy's History of Rome, Herodotus' History, and Polybius' Histories. |

| | During this war, Rome founded several colonies in southern Campania, and one, Luceria, far away in Apulia, in an apparent attempt to create bases for further operations against Samnium. | | | Although he describes the wars and battles with enthusiasm and detail, the historicity of much of the account remains suspect. | | | The Third Samnite War lasted from 298 to 290. |

| | Third Samnite War |
| | Until now, Rome had mostly been able to stand against single enemies at a time, but unification of these old foes made the challenge more difficult. | | | The Third Samnite War became the last desperate attempt of the Samnites to remain independent and were able to convince Rome’s old enemies to join against them once again. | | | The years surrounding the Samnite Wars were not only one of military prowess for Rome, but of great public works, as well. |

| | As a minor page in history, one in which the GMT rulebook describes as an "obscure historical event," the arrival of Alexander of Molossia concurred with the beginning of the Second Samnite War. | | | The Rise of the Roman Republic deals with four distinct military phases of Roman ascendancy: The Samnite Wars; the invasion of Alexander of Molossia; the invasion of Pyrrhus of Epirus; and the invasion of Hannibal, otherwise known as the Second Punic War. | | | Not until the Second Samnite War did the Romans decisively rout the Samnites, who, after several devastating defeats, continued to raise larger and larger armies in a glorious display of Herculean denial. |
