January 289 BC: From Aquilonia, where the Legio Linteata had fought, some survivors took refuge in Bovianum from where they reorganized and led a desperate resistance that lasted until 290, with the last, very hard campaign conducted by the consuls Manio Curio Dentato and Publio Cornelio Rufino. With the victory over the Samnites, the Romans conquered a hegemonic position throughout the central south.
