Please note that Mommsen uses the AUC chronology (Ab Urbe
Condita), i.e. from the founding of the City of Rome. You can
use this reference table to have the B.C. dates From: The
History of Rome, by Theodor Mommsen Translated with the sanction
of the author by William Purdie Dickson On the other hand the
Latin nationality was, as respected both the extent of its
diffusion and the depth of its hold, in the most decided
ascendant. As after the Social war any portion of Italian soil
might belong to any Italian in full Roman ownership, and any god
of an Italian temple might receive Roman gifts; as in all Italy,
with the exception of the region beyond the Po, the Roman law
thenceforth had exclusive authority, superseding all other civic
and local laws; so the Roman language at that time became the
universal language of business, and soon likewise the universal
language of cultivated intercourse, in the whole peninsula from
the Alps to the Sicilian Straits. But it no longer restricted
itself to these natural limits.
