By around 500 B.C., Latium has extended south of the Tiber River beyond thepromontory of Mount Circeo, after been originally limited to the territories from
around the Alban Mountains (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, n.d.).
In the late Bronze Age, a large number of Indo-Europeans arrived in Italy, settling on
the Italian peninsula, which became known as Latium. This land had previously
been inhabited by unknown persons. Etruria, Campania, Samnium, and Sabina
surrounded the town, which was situated on the Tiber's bank. Being on the river's
bank indicated the importance of the estate. As the Roman government attempted to
sway the people of Latium, they reacted adversely. Rome desired to expand its
territories by conquering neighboring regions, but it lacked complete control over
Latium.
It eventually led to a conflict between the two, and the treaty of alliance, which was
founded on equality, came to an end. The autonomy of Latium was revoked as a
result of the conflict. Rome centralized its influence and spread its domination. The
outskirts of Latium had fertile fields that were well-watered and ideal for crop
growing. Because of the volcanic rich soil, the region was rich in trees, lush grasses,
and construction materials. Latium cities were also important from a military
tactical perspective. They served as a watchtower from which Rome could keep an
eye on all of its adversaries in the region. Latium quickly grew to become Rome's
capital, as well as the political and cultural center of the time.
