The Social War and the growing empire The Social War was fought from 91 BC between the Roman Republic and its allies in Italy. The Italian allies lost the war but gained the right to be Roman citizens. By 30 BCE, the Roman Empire covered most of the Mediterranean. In 43 CE, they invaded Britain and reached the Rhine and Danube rivers by 96 CE (see the map in lesson 5.6).
