Do you have an english translation of this?
No sorry :(
Can anyone here read russian?
Also, what is a Samnite? I assume it's a Greek unit, but that's it.
Samnites were members of the ancient warlike tribes inhabiting the mountainous centre of southern Italy.
So they were the guys who became Rome?
The Samnites were involved in a series of three wars (343–341, 327–304, and 298–290) against the Romans.Even though later on the Romans surrounded Samnite land with colonies and then split it with colonies at Beneventum (268) and Aesernia (263).
