The Latin League, the Celts, Pyrrhus, and All Italy by 263
Captions available
The idea
Celts sacked Rome about three ninety, the anchor giving two dates. In three thirty-eight Rome beat its Latin League and offered citizenship without the vote for loyalty and troops. Pyrrhus won twice about two eighty; all Italy was Roman by two sixty-three.
In practice
Conquest feeding power: the precedent of three thirty-eight.
Where people slip
Citizenship without the vote is the key: Rome grew by absorbing.
