268 BC (search for this): book 9, chapter 27
rious enemy were charging their disordered ranks. but all was quickly changed by the arrival of the consul. for the sight of their general revived the spirits of the soldiers, and the brave men who followed him were a greater succour than their numbers indicated; and the tidings of their comrades' victory, which they soon saw for themselves, restored the battle. presently the Romans had begun to conquer all along the line, while the Samnites, giving up the struggle, were massacred or made prisoners, except those who fled to Maleventum, the city which is now called Beneventum.The city, which was a Greek colony, was called Malovei/s, which meant sheeptown (or, perhaps, appletown). The Romans corrupted the accusative case, Malove/nta, to Maleventum, which they regarded as derived from male and ,venire, and then, to avoid the omen, changed it to Beneventum when they planted a colony there, 268 B.C. tradition avers that some thirty thousand Samnites were slain or captured.
