The Etruscan army, which after the fall of Rome had penetrated into Latium, had its victorious career checked in the first instance before the walls of Aricia by the well-timed intervention of the Cumaeans who had hastened to the succour of the Aricines (248).This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
