Description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Caudine_Forks

Descripcion foto: The Battle of Caudine Forks was a decisive event of the Second Samnite War. The Romans were trapped in an enclosed valley by the Samnites before they knew what was happening and nothing remained but to negotiate an unfavorable surrender. In the end the Samnites decided it would be better for future relations to let the Romans go, while the Romans were impeded in the prosecution of their campaign against the Samnites by considerations of religion and honor. Before returning to Rome, the Roman soldiers were obliged to pass under a yoke, as a sign of defeat and humiliation.
