The '''Battle of the Caudine Forks''' took place in 321 B.C. as part of the [[Second Samnite War]] between [[Roman Republic|Rome]] and the Samnite hill tribes. The Roman counsuls [[Spurius Postumius]] and [[T. Veturius Calvinus]] were decisively defeated by [[Gavius Pontius]] and forced to surrender. After this disaster, Rome was forced to agree to a temporary peace under very unfavorable terms.
