The Rise of Rome: From the Conflict of the Orders to the First Punic War

This period in Roman history marked significant changes, including the Conflict of the Orders which led to the Licinio-Sextian Laws in 367 BC, reshaping the political landscape through the introduction of key magistracies and lifetime Senate memberships. The expansion into southern Italy culminated in the First Punic War (264-241 BC), where Rome confronted Carthaginian dominance. Key events included the Romans' expulsion of Carthaginians from Messana and Hamilcar Barca's leadership. The war's conclusion established Rome as a major power in the Western Mediterranean.
