Roman Social War (90 BC) - events| 90 BC–88 BC | Rome | Rome is seriously threatened during the Social War by the Italians, who establish a federal capital at Corfinium, east of Rome. The Senate, with an apprehensive eye on the threat of King Mithridates VI the Great of Pontus, compromises. While giving command in Campania to the Roman consul for 88 BC Lucius Cornelius Sulla, it offers the Italians, with only a few provisos, what they are fighting for: Roman citizenship. |
