Ancient Latium was not a large area. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica (n.d.), it extended south of the Tiber River to Mount Circeo, and was bordered northwest by Etruria, southeast by Campania, east by Samnium, and northeast by the region of Sabini, Aequi, and Marsi.

In Badien’s observations, he finds that granting citizenship and the Latin’s helped Rome to become powerful and assisting Italy to be more structured.
