What 3 groups fought for control of the region of Rome?
There were more than three groups. There were the Romans themselves, other Latin cities, the Sabines, the Aequi and the Volsci. At times there were also conflicts between Rome and the nearby Etruscan city of Veii. These were not really fights for control over the region. The other Latin cities and the Sabines fought to check Rome's expansion into the area, rather than to gain control. The Aequi and Volsci settled to the south of Rome and Latium (land of the Latins) and then carried out raids into Roman and Latin territories, rather than fight for control. The only fights over control were the last wars between Rome and Veii. This was a struggle for control over the river Tiber area, rather than for the region. It ended with Rome destroying Veii in 396 BC.
Which war started the roman quest for empire?
Rome's quest for empire or expansion goes way, way back before the more famous wars such as the Punic Wars. When Rome was nothing more than a small town, they had a long war with the Etruscans who ruled the city of Veii, which was across the Tiber from Rome. In 396 BC Rome captured Veii which doubled Rome's territory and was a stepping-stone for Rome to conquer the surrounding territory of Latinum.
Durin the early years of roman expansion what city was Rome's only rival?
The Etruscan city of Veii, which was only 10 miles from Rome, on the other side of the river Tiber, was Rome's main rival in the early days of Rome's history. The two cities fought each other 8 times in some 350 years. This ended when Rome destroyed Veii in 396 BC. However, Veii was not Rome's only rival. The nearby Sabines attacked Roman territory several times. In the early 5th century BC the Etruscan cities of Tarquinii and Clusium also attacked Rome and the other Latin cities allied against Rome and fought her. In that century the most dangerous enemies of Rome were the Aequi and the Volsci who had conquered lands to the south of Rome. Rome had to fight defensive wars against their plundering raids on her territories for most of that century.
Who did the Romans defeat second?

Why were the Romans influenced by the Greeks and etruscans?
The Eturscans were the next door neighbours. Rome was on the river Tiber, which was the border between Latium (land of the Latins) and Etruria (land of the Etruscans) . Veii, one of the major Etruscan cities was only six miles from Rome . The Greeks were the most advanced civilisation in the Mediterranean and influenced all the peoples they came in contact with, including the Romans.
Who is the Roman goddess of mothers?
The first known Roman goddess who was associated with motherhood was Carmenta. In 369 BC the Romans conquered the town of Veii. They took the statue of Veii's most important goddess Juno and built her a temple in Rome and adopted her as a Roman god. Juno was the goddess associated with birth and she had a motherhood festival on the 1st of March called the Matronalia. The Roman goddess Diana could also be considered the goddess of mothers because of her association with the Greek goddess Artemis who was a patron of motherhood and birth. In the Later Roman Empire other goddess cults became popular, notably Magna Mater and Kybele, who could be considered goddesses of mothers.
What Etruscan city did the Romans capture just before the Gauls captured Rome?

Roman soldiers begun the receive a pay in 405 BC, during the war which they fought against the nearby Etruscan city of Veii and which led to the destruction of Veii in 396 BC. At this time Rome did not have a professional army yet. Its army was a citizen militia of peasants who were recruited only during the military campaigning season (March 19 to October 19) and then went back to their farms. The professional army was created in 107 BC, with a career which lasted 16 years and which later was lengthened to 20 years. In addition to a pay, professional soldiers also received a grant of a plot of land or a sizable lump sum of money on retirement.
What territories were a part of the Roman Republic by 264 BC?
Prior to the start of the Fist Punic War (264 BC), the Roman Republic included Latium (land of the Latins), the former territories of the the Etruscan city state of Veii, the Volsci, the Hernici and the Sabines (all next to Latium, to its north, east, west and south) and of the Praetutii (in northern present day Abruzzo). It also included the city of Capua, just north of Naples and the nearby Privernum district. It is unclear whether the territories between this city and Latiumy, which were under Roman control, were annexed to the Republic.
