He fell unwept and unavenged, and a cruel persecution was immediately set on foot against all who had taken part in his scheme of reform. The Social War Then the storm which for many years had been gathering over Rome broke at last, and the Italians, exasperated by so many disappointments, flew to arms (91 B.C.). The revolt ...began with the massacre of the Roman residents at Asculum, in the March of Ancona, and thence spread rapidly to all the SabelUans of central Italy, who were joined by the Samnites and I^ucanians. It was no longer a question of union with Rome or an equal participation in the rights of her citizens. It was a grand secession, which, if successful, would have torn all Italy asunder and altered the whole course of history by leaving the Romans in a state of weakness and isolation. After a last appeal to Rome, which was contemptuously rejected, the Italians solemnly renounced their allegiance, and 393 REPUBLICAN ROME formed themselves into a great confederate state, with its capital at Corfinium, in the Pelignian highlands, which received the new name of Italica.
