The Battle of Lake Regillus

Solution

The Romans made a treaty with the Latin League that the Latin League would form a defensive military alliance with the Romans and that in any campaign they fight in together, they would split the spoils equally. Also, the Latin League could not let any of the Roman's enemies go free.

Mythological Portion

It was said that Dictator Aulus Postumius prayed to the Gods for victory. He promised if they helped the Romans win the war, he would build a temple for the Gods Castor and Pollux. The twin Gods heard his plea and rode on white horses into the battle, fighting for the Romans and helping them in their last stand against the Latin League.

The Battle
