	[No title]
		The first war with slaves occurred in the infancy of Rome, in the heart of the city, when Herdonius Sabinus was their leader, and when, while the state was distracted with the seditions of the tribunes, the Capitol was besieged and wrested by the consul from the servile multitude.
		The forces engaged, and at first the fugitives had the advantage, since they were fighting from higher ground; but later Lucullus, by suborning Apollonius, the general of Vettius, and guaranteeing him in the name of the state immunity from punishment, persuaded him to turn traitor against his fellow rebels.
		Men who aforetime had stood first in their cities in reputation and wealth, now through this unexpected turn of fortune were not only losing their property by violence at the hands of the fugitives, but were forced to put up with insolent treatment even from the free born.

		Unification was achieved in the battles of 1859 and 1860; the sovereign, Vittorio Emanuele II, reigned in Turin, the capital.
		This battle was fought where the Ponzillo and Conte families lived; and the ruin it brought--then and in the decades that followed--was one factor in inducing them and others in their area to leave Italy.
		The first member of the Ponzillo family to emigrate in the 1880s from the Terra di Lavoro to the United States was Vittorio, who left in 1881, at the age of thirty-eight, on the steamship Chateau Leoville.

	Capua - Samnite Wars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The First Samnite War lasted two years, ending with Roman victory and the acquisition of the rich land of Campania, which included Capua.

		The number of the enemy in that battle against Sylla is said to have been seventy thousand; twelve thousand surrendered themselves to Sylla: the rest were cut off in the field, in the camp, or in the pursuit, by the insatiable resentment of the conqueror.

	Plutarch on Spartacus
		At first Spartacus despised these fortifications and did not take them seriously; but soon he found himself short of plunder and, when he wanted to break out from the peninsula, he realized that he was walled in and could get no more supplies where he was.
		First, when his horse was brought to him, he drew his sword and killed it, saying that the enemy had plenty of good horses which would be his if he won, and, if he lost, he would not need a horse at all.
		The fugitives from the battle fell in with Pompey's troops and were destroyed, so that Pompey, in his dispatch to the senate, was able to say that, while Crassus certainly had conquered the slaves in open battle, he himself had dug the war up by the roots.
