The '''Battle of Vesuvius''' was fought in 339 B.C. during the [[Latin War]] between the [[Roman Republic]]. The Romans were suffering a horrible defeat after the left wing of their army was shattered. [[Publius Decius Mus]], commander of the left wing, deliberately sacrified himself in a suicide charge to permit the withdrawal of the remainder of the army. The result was a drawn battle for Rome instead of a disaster.
