In the course of the conquest of Italy in the 5th-3rd centuries BC, Rome made many political and military alliances with individual states of the Apennine Peninsula, which were called Allies (Latin Soci). Rome required them, above all, to provide specific military contingents for virtually every call of its hegemon, i.e. the Eternal City. Therefore, he required them to pay an appropriate "blood tribute" in the course of subsequent wars. As the Roman army had very good infantry, the Socii was to provide more cavalry units than foot troops. Nevertheless, the infantry of the Allies took part in many wars conducted by Rome, mainly in the First and Second Punic Wars (264-241 and 218-201 BC). Not infrequently, the contingents sent by Italian allies equaled the number of armies deployed by Rome itself, and could count from 20,000-30,000. soldiers. This state of affairs has changed after the so-called the war with the allies of 90-88 BC, when many Socii received the status of Roman citizens.
