Social War
Allies against Rome
Social War refers to several ancient conflicts, most notably the war of 91–88 BCE between Rome and its Italian allies (socii) who demanded Roman citizenship.
The allies' revolt was eventually suppressed, though Rome granted citizenship to most Italians anyway.
An earlier Social War (220–217 BCE) was fought between Rome and its Greek allies.
The term occasionally describes any civil conflict among former allies or partners.
