The Latin League (c. 8th century – 338 BC) was an ancient confederation of about 30 villages and tribes in the region of Latium near the ancient city of Rome, organized for mutual defense by the Italic tribes of the Latins. The term "Latin League" is one coined by modern historians with no precise Latin equivalent.
