<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2418895, member: 51347&quot;]Guy, also keep in mind that Central Italy during the Samnite Wars were using Aes Rude, Formatum, and nearby Magna Graecia AE and AR coinage for transactions.&nbsp; They were more agrarian and trade oriented in transactions.&nbsp; Additionally, the Samnite people were under Roman Rule, but each Treaty were negotiated separately by Rome with the Allies. Many times the Allies had almost an autonomous relationship, only required to supply Troops and Tribute for their agreement...&nbsp; Samnium was always a tenuous agreement.&nbsp; As you pointed out, although they stuck with Rome during the 2nd Punic War, they went on to fight Rome during the Social War within the Marsic Confederation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
