Latin League

An association of Latin cities including Rome, bound by shared cults and mutual rights of trade and intermarriage. Rome's victory in the Latin War dissolved it in 338 BCE, and the settlement that followed — citizenship without the vote for some, full incorporation for others — became the template for how Rome absorbed everyone it later defeated.
