The '''First Samnite War''' from 343 to 341 B.C. occurred when the cities of [[Campania]] called on [[Roman Republic|Rome]] for assistance against the Samnite hill tribes. [[Marcus Valerius Corvus]] won a major victory at Mount Gaurus in 342 B.C., but could not conquer the Samnites. In the end, Rome did establish a virtual protectorate over Campania.
