The Roman victory brought with it the dissolution of the Latin League and Roman hegemony over the League's cities. Rome eventually outgrew the need for being in the Latin League, and the result was the Latin War, which raged in 340–338 B.C. Neighbors who challenged Latin supremacy at this time included the Aequi and the Volsci. The Roman victory at the Battle of Lake Regillus ended Tarquin's regal hopes, kept Rome a republic, and resulted in a mutual defense treaty between the republic and the League.Īt this time, Rome was part of the Latin League and sent troops to fight in the League army, commanded by a dictator. Tarquin himself made an alliance with the Latins and strove to regain his Roman throne. The Latin League, formed in response to the Etruscan occupation, flourished after 509 B.C., when the citizens of Rome drove away Tarquin the Proud, the last king of Rome (and an Etruscan). Latin cities included Ardea, Aricia, Crustumerium, Ficula, Fidenae, Gabii, Labici, Lanuvium, Lavinium, Nomentum, Pedium, Praeneste, Tibur, Tusculum. The Etruscans occupied Latium about 600 B.C. The Latins formed small settlements that joined together in religious confederations, first on the Alban Hills. Latium was a great plain on the Italian peninsula. They came into conflict with Rome and were eventually subsumed by that civilization. They also include an eyepiece cover and 2 objective lens covers.The Latins were a people who lived in ancient times in what is now Italy.
