	Battle of Beneventum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Beneventum (275 BC) was the last battle fought between the forces of Pyrrhus of Epirus (without Samnite allies) and the Romans, led by consul Marcus Curius Dentatus.
		Although the battle was inconclusive, he decided to end his campaign in Italy and return to Epirus; as a consequence of this, many modern sources wrongly state that Pyrrhus lost the battle.
		The Roman battles with Pyrrhus also foreshadowed the superiority of the Roman legion over the Macedonian phalanx, due to the greater mobility of the legion (though many point out the weakening of the cavalry arm in the times of the diadochi).

	Battles: Battle of Asculum :: 0 A.D. :: Wildfire Games
		The battle of Asculum was the second battle fought between Pyrrhos (Pyrrhus) of Epirus and the Romans, this time under the command of Consuls P.
		While the Epeirote-Allied army had won the battle the loss of men and even worse good and able officers was so great that Pyrrhos was to have said “If we defeat the Romans in one more such battle, we shall be completely ruined” it is from this saying that we get the term Pyrrhic victory.
		The Romans finally defeated Pyrrhos in a decisive battle at Beneventum in 275, which forced Pyrrhos to retreat from Italy, leaving the peninsula to the Romans to dominate.

		The Latins led by Porsenna fought a largely uneventful series of battles with the Romans, finally ending in a victory by the first-ever Roman dictator at Lake Regillus in 496 (Livy 2.2.21).
		The treaty of alliance that followed was to be a rare one for the Romans as they gave the Latins what Lewis and Reinhold call a foedus aequum in which they gave fair terms to their enemies, a vastly different approach from the later method of imposing terms on beaten foes (1990, pp.
		The Romans finally succeeded in driving Pyrrhus from Italy at the battle at Beneventum and thus defeated the Tarentines in 272.
