Assistance was also coming to the Latins from Lanuvium whilst time was being wasted in deliberation, but whilst they were starting and a part of their column was already on the march, news came of the defeat of the Latins.

Those of the Latins who survived the battle retreated by many different routes, and gradually assembled in the city of Vescia.
