The Molossian king having gained these considerable successes, he arranges with the Romans, the leading power in central Italy, for a joint attack upon the Samnites, their primary enemy; but the Tarentines, suspecting him of the design of founding an independent kingdom, turn against him.
Although the advantage at first rests with Alexander, he gradually loses it, and his supporters dwindle away.
