The '''Battle of Vesuvius''' was fought in 339 B.C. during the [[Latin War]] between the [[Roman Republic]].  The Romans were suffereing 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.
