The Roman Social War (91-88 B.C) was a civil war, but instead of being between parties within Rome, it was between the city and region immediately surrounding Rome and her Italian allies. As the empire expanded, the allies wanted more rights of Roman citizenship and sought input into foreign policy. A Roman politician named Drusus proposed such reforms but was assassinated, and his reforms were tabled, thus triggering the Social War.\u00a0Rome’s Latin allies remained faithful, but most of the rest of Italy revolted and declared themselves a new country, named Italia. The war\u00a0was short\u00a0and there were numerous skirmishes and few pitched battles, the main two being Tolenus, a Roman loss, and a battle during the siege of Asculum, a Roman victory which resulted in the fall of an important city of the Italian Allies. Instead of continuing to fight, however, Rome made significant concessions, including the granting of Roman citizenship to selected towns, granting it as a reward for military service, and also granting it, in selected cases to other individuals who were willing to pay to travel to Rome in order to vote. These concessions effectively satisfied the Italians and hostilities ceased.\u00a0<\/div> anxia Roma <\/a>
