===Roman Republic===
Gallic predominance in the region was consistently challenged by the Romans. In the [[battle of Telamon]], the Romans defeated the joint forces of the Celtic tribes, thus achieving a [[hegemony]] over the new [[Roman Province]] of [[Cisalpine Gaul]] centred at Mutina (modern [[Modena]]).
After the [[Second Punic War]], the pro-[[Carthage|Carthaginian]] [[Lingones]] and [[Senoni]] were expelled. To consolidate the Roman rule in the region, the [[Via Aemilia]] was built from Ariminium ([[Rimini]]) to Piacentia ([[Piacenza]]), and a series of [[Colonia (Roman)|Roman colonies]] were founded. The most significant ones are Forum Livii ([[Forlì]]), Forum Cornelii ([[Imola]]) and Forum Popili ([[Forlimpopoli]]). After the [[Social War (91–88 BC)|Social War]], the [[Lex Julia]] was introduced in 90 BC, and [[Roman citizenship]] was granted to all [[municipia]] south of the [[River Po]].
