Latin War - History of Rome #11

Following the end of the First Samnite War, Roman allies continued to wage war against the defeated Samnites. Romans refused to stop their allies based on a peace treaty. This gave Latins the idea that Rome was weak and not in a position to order them around.
When the Latins revolted two legendary consuls Titus Manlius Torquatus and Publius Decius Mus lead the two Roman armies to Campania and fought the Latins and their allies in two pitched battles.
