Chronology

Interactive Chronologies with maps are available in the section Changes Navigation

  • January 600 BC: The Latins initially made an incursion into Roman territory. When a Roman embassy demanded compensation for the damage, the Latins gave a contemptuous reply. Ancus Martius consequently declared war on the Latins. Ancus Martius marched from Rome with a conscript army and captured the Latin city of Politorio in one attack.
  • January 600 BC: Additional citizens were brought to Rome when the king captured the Latin cities of Telleni and Ficana.
  • January 600 BC: The war then concentrated on the Latin city of Medullia, a city which had a large garrison and was well fortified. Several clashes took place outside the city walls and the Romans were eventually victorious.
