Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

Vulci was another influential Etruscan city, known for its art, metalwork, and architecture. Located slightly inland, it maintained trade routes to both the coast and the interior of Etruria. Vulci’s resources and strategic inland location made it a target for Roman influence as Rome sought control over Etruscan territories during this period.
