Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

Beneventum (modern Benevento) was an ancient Samnite city located near the southern border of the region. It played a central role in the Samnite Wars, serving as a strategic stronghold for the Samnites and later the Romans. Its fall to the Romans in 268 BCE marked a major shift in the war, consolidating Roman control over the Samnite territories.
