The Samnites were a people living in the center of Italy at the age of the Roma Republic, and were one of its most famous opponents.
Romans and Samnites fought each other during the three Samnites Wars which occured in the 4th-3rd centuries BC. The Samnites were eventually defeated and were compelled to become allies to Rome. Rome just became powerful enough to stand against Pyrrhus and thereafter Carthage.
I used the Italian Allies box by Hät to represent the Samnites.
