Prior to the start of the Fist Punic War (264 BC), the Roman Republic included Latium (land of the Latins), the former territories of the the Etruscan city state of Veii, the Volsci, the Hernici and the Sabines (all next to Latium, to its north, east, west and south) and of the Praetutii (in northern present day Abruzzo). It also included the city of Capua, just north of Naples and the nearby Privernum district. It is unclear whether the territories between this city and Latiumy, which were under Roman control, were annexed to the Republic.
