Battle of Faventia (82 BC)
The battle of Faventia (82 BC)
saw the total failure of an attempt by Carbo to launch a surprise
attack on Sulla's commander in the north of Italy, Metellus Pius. Soon
afterwards Carbo gave up the fight and fled to Africa, leaving the
Marian cause almost leaderless in Italy (Sulla's Second Civil War).
