354 and 341, and thus constituted a casus belli for the second Samnite War. 17 After theRoman disaster at the Caudine Forks in 321, the colonists were made to evacuate Calesand Fregellae.Toward the end of the second Samnite War, when the Romans had recoveredfrom their defeat, they re-colonized Fregellae as well as encircling the Samnite territorywith a series of other Latin colonies. 18The first was Luceria, probably elected in 315 andestablished at a Samnite bastion near the plains of Apulia. 19Although Luceria was somedistance from other towns, it became a notable market for wool, sheepskins, andlivestock. 20The colonization of Suessa Aurunca and Saticula followed in 313. Theformer occupied an Auruncan town, which controlled one of the roads to Capua and thuswas ideally located for a market town.The latter was founded by M. Valerius MaximusCorvus, D. Iunius Brutus Scaeva, and P. Fulvius Longus in a border fortress overlookingthe paths used by the Caudini Samnites.This year, too, the island of Pontiae wascolonized in order to control the sea route and defend the coast off the modern Bay ofNaples. 23Later that year, the consuls of 312, M. Valerius and P. Decius, were ordered bythe senate to elect three commissioners to found another Latin colony on the Liris,17 Salmon (1970), p.57.18 We have no record that Cales was also reinforced at this time. A supplement was sent out to the colonyin 185 under the auspices of P. Claudius Pulcher, which we only know through an inscription found at thecolony. (Inscr. Ital. 13.3, 70a (=CIL 6.1283 or I 2 .1.32 p. 200). Cf. Salmon (1970), pp. 90 and 102.19 Livy 9.26.1; Diod. Sic. 19.72.8, Cic. Att. 7.20, 8.1. Cf. Salmon (1970), p. 58. Salmon (n. 72 p. 175)notes that Velleius Paterculus (1.14.4) is wrong that Luceria dated to 323. Roman colonies were dated fromtheir foundation, in Luceria's case in 314, according to Livy.20 Frayn (1993), pp. 40-41,21 Livy 9.28, Salmon (1970), pp. 58-9. Frayn (1993), p. 40.22 Festus, Gloss.

Interamna Lirinas, but who those commissioners were is unknown.Thus, by the end ofthe second Samnite War, Latin colonies controlled critical transportation routes betweenLatium and Samnium, along the Liris River valley, as well as into Campania and Apulia.After the end of the second Samnite War, the Romans continued to establish Latincolonies around Samnite territories and strongholds, but they also began to plant smallercolonies of Roman citizens as well. The Latin colony of Sora, planted on the Liris in 303,strengthened the frontier and hindered cooperation among the Samnites, Hernici, Marsi,and Aequi. 25During the third Samnite War, the tribunes of the plebs obtained aplebiscite to order the praetor P. Sempronius to create three commissioners to foundsmall colonies of Roman citizens at Sinuessa and Minturnae (296/5), although Livy doesnot name the commissioners.Both towns became market centers, but Minturnaeespecially drew the market for the agricultural produce of the plain. 27These colonies ofthree hundred families also protected the coastal route between Campania and Rome, asdid the citizen colony of Terracina founded on the Bay of Naples in 329 BCE. 28 In 291,the Latin colony of Venusia was founded on a ridge dominating the upper Aufidus valley,which effectively split the Hirpini from the Lucani.24 Livy 9.28.7-8. Cf. Salmon (1970), p. 59. Dittenberger, SIG 2 4 .543, 26 indicates that some of thecolonists may have been freedmen.25 Livy 10.1.1; 3.2; 9.8; Veil. Pat. 1.14.5. Cf. Salmon (1970), p. 59. Sora had been garrisoned in 315 aswell: Livy 9.24.5, Diod. Sic. 19.72.3.26 Livy 10.21.7-1027 Frayn (1993), pp. 39-40, 46-47.28 Salmon (1970), p.76.29 Veil. Pat. 1.14.6; Dion. Hal. 17.18.5. Dionysius asserts that 20,000 colonists were sent to Venusia, butthe customary number for Latin colonies of this type was must lower. Salmon (1970, n. 80 p. 175) suggests6,000 colonists as at Alba Fucens. It is important to note that the foundation of this colony falls into the gapin Livy's narrative, as do those of Paestum, Beneventum, and Aesernia.60
