The news both gave new spirits to the Romans who were now conquering, and dismayed the AEquans as they were beginning to give way.

They first began to be beaten in the centre, where the charge of the cavalry had broken their ranks.

Then the left wing began to lose ground before the consul Quintius; there was most difficulty on the right.

Then Agrippa, buoyed up by youth and vigour, on seeing matters going more favourably in every part of the battle than in his own quarter, took some of the standards from the standard-bearers and carried them on himself, some even he began to throw into the thick of the enemy.

The soldiers, urged on by the fear of this disgrace, attacked the enemy; thus the victory was equalized in every quarter.
News then came from Quintius that he, being now victorious, was about to attack the enemy's camp; that he was unwilling to break into it before he learned that they were beaten in the left wing also.
