The Romans also adopted the checkerboard offensive troop formation used by the Samnites. Preparations for renewed war included construction of the Appian Way, a road that runs south from Rome toward Naples. The humiliated Roman Senate eventually orchestrated a counterattack. At one point, Samnite troops trapped a Roman army in a mountain pass and forced it to surrender. The Romans tried to set up colonies near Naples, but the Samnites struck back.
