The Latin League was a coalition of Latinic successor states and city-states following the collapse of central authority of Great Levantia in the beginning of the 6th century. The League was established in the 670s for the purposes of mutual defense against Goths to the north, Gallawa to the east, and Hištanšahr to the south. The Duchy of Urceopolis was among one of its most prominent members. It was destroyed in the 750s by Conchobar, King of Gallawa, whose control of the former Latin heartland would empower him to form the Levantine Empire shortly after its demise. The lands of most of these cities and polities were reorganized into the Archduchy of Urceopolis, Duchy of Yustona, and the various maritime republics of the western coast.
Urceopolitan Duke Gaius Julius Cicurinus rose to prominence in the mid-8th century at the head of Latin League forces against both Hištanšahr and Gallawa, using Hištanšahr's tactics and Gael mercenaries and defectors to push back the tide. League members were disgruntled by Cicurinus's foreign allies and removed him from command, leading to their eventual conquest by Gallawa. Cicurinus later became the first Archduke of Urceopolis, founder of the Julian dynasty and was later canonized as Saint Julius I by the Catholic Church.
