===Fall of Cales===
The [[Aurunci]] and Sidicini, who had been perforce in the Latin camp, received separate treaties from Rome. In 337, the Sidicini attacked the Aurunci for no reason given by Livy.<ref>{{cite book |author=Livy |author-link=Livy |title=City |chapter=8.15}}</ref> The Roman Senate decided that the terms of the latter's treaty warranted military intervention, but meanwhile the Aurunci abandoned their towns in Campania in favour of a mountain stronghold, [[Suessa Aurunca|Suessa]], which they renamed Aurunca. Further events escalated the conflict: the [[Ausones]] of [[Cales]] joined the Sidicini. In 335, the Romans sent a consular army under [[Marcus Valerius Corvus]] to lay siege to Cales. Informed by an escaped prisoner (who broke his chains and climbed the wall in plain sight without being observed) that the enemy were all drunk and sleeping, Corvus took the city in a night-time rout and garrisoned it. The Senate voted to send 2,500 colonists, to whom enemy land was distributed. The Ausoni were never again sovereign.
