Ancient History Board Games - Rome #1 - Dominate the Peninsula (social studies)

In this game, students play one on one in a printable board game to dominate the peninsula of Rome. They play cards and move on a map to achieve this.

Rome’s conquest of the Italian Peninsula occurred over several centuries, starting in the 4th century BCE and culminating in the 1st century BCE. Rome, initially a small city-state, expanded through military campaigns and alliances, gradually bringing neighboring territories under its control. The process involved conflicts with other Italian city-states, such as the Samnites and Etruscans. Rome’s military prowess, political institutions, and ability to integrate conquered peoples into its society played crucial roles in the success of its conquest, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Roman Republic as a dominant power in the region.
