The enemy, now routed, fled to their camp, and the Romans advancing to attack it, they gave way, and are crowded all together in the remotest part of it.

In their flight they are obstructed by the narrowness of the gates, the greater number climbed up on the mounds and ramparts, to try if they could either defend themselves with the aid of the advantageous ground, or get over, by any means, and escape.

One part of the rampart, happening to be badly compacted sunk under the weight of the multitude who stood on it, and fell into the trench.

On which, crying out that the gods had opened that pass to give them safety, they made their way out, most of them leaving their arms behind.

By this battle the power of the Etrurians was, a second time, effectually crushed, so that, engaging to furnish a year's pay, and corn for two months, with the dictator's permission, they sent ambassadors to Rome to treat of peace.
