By 500 BC Rome was no longer a kingdom. The monarchy was overthrown in a rebellion in 509 BC which established the Roman Republic.
The Republic did expand further north before 146 BC. In the Third Samnite War (298-290 BC) she defeated an alliance between the Samnites of southern Italy, the Etruscans, the Umbrians and the Senone Gauls. The latter three lived in central Italy north of Rome. They were defeated in a battle north of Rome. Rome turned the Umbrians, the Senone Gauls and the Samnites into Roman allies. This is the policy Rome pursued during her expansion into central and southern Italy in the 4th century BC and early 3rd century BC. All the defeated people were made to be allies, which meant that they retained autonomy in exchange for supplying troops to Rome at their own expense. This was a form of indirect rule. Rome also annexed a strip of territory south of that of the Umbrians and Senone Gauls, which was north of Rome. Rome also established colonies (settlements) in areas north of Rome to strengthen her control over the area.
Between 225 and 221 Rome also conquered Cisalpine Gaul, a large area of northern Italy inhabited by Gaul peoples. They too were forced into becoming allies of Rome. Roman colonies were established in this area as well.
