Battle of Lautulae
The Battle of Lautulae (near what is now Terracina ) took place during the Second Samnite War, probably in 315 BC. Chr. Instead. The Roman historian Livy has handed down two versions. According to his favorite, the battle ended in a draw at nightfall. The second tradition, which is also attested by the Greek historian Diodorus , says that the Roman troops under the dictator Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus were subject to the Samnites and that the magister equitum Quintus Aulius Cerretanus also fell in battle.
