Pompeii is/was a very ancient Italian town founded by the Oscans, a group of people who lived in pre-Roman Italy. When Rome expanded into the southern area known as Canpania, it annexed Pompeii as part of its victory in the first Samnite war. This was sometime in the 4th century BC although it was not until 80 BC that Sulla ended all the troubles around Pompeii once and for all.
