At the commencement of the battle the Etrurians attacked the Aricians so furiously, that they routed them at the first onset.

But the Cuman cohorts, opposing stratagem to force, moved off a little to one side, and when the enemy were carried beyond them in great disorder, they faced about and charged them in the rear.

By this means the Etrurians, when they had almost got the victory, were enclosed and cut to pieces.[79] A very small part of them, having lost their general, because they had no nearer refuge, came to Rome without their arms, in the condition and with the air of suppliants.

There they were kindly received and provided with lodgings.

When their wounds were cured, many of them went home and told the kind hospitality they had met with.
Affection for their hosts and for the city detained many at Rome; a place was assigned them to dwell in, which they have ever since called the Tuscan Street.
