Roman Republic

Etruscans attacked the Roman camp

480 BC
Roman Republic (Present-Day Rome, Italy)

The Etruscans took advantage of a lull in the fighting to attack the Roman camp, breaching the defenses of the reserves. However, word of the attack reached the consuls, and Manlius stationed his men around the exits to the camp, surrounding the Etruscans.
