Why were the samnites and the Romans enemies?
The Samnites and the Romans at first got on well. They signed a peace treaty. The First Samnite War occurred because the Romans decided to help the Campanian city of Capua (just north of Naples) which was under Samnite attack. This led to war. The Second Samnite War started for two reasons. 1) Rome decided to besiege Naples to support the Greek aristocracy of the city against unrest by the Campanian populace of the city which was supported by the Samnites. Naples was supposed to be part of the Samnite area of influence as agreed between the Romans and the Samnites. 2) Rome had set up two Roman colonies (settlements) in another area that was supposed to be in the Samnite area of influence. Roman policy was aggressive. The Romans aimed at controlling central Italy, just north of Samnium (the land of the Samnite) to exercise control over the Samnites who were a strong military power. The Romans started the Third Samnite War by using a Samnite attack on their neighbours to the south as an excuse. Now the Roman wanted to subdue the Samnites.
