Battle of Ciuna
The Battle is probably a hoax or at least a misnomer. No such place is mentioned in the sources. No archeological reference is known.
 * Comment Still checking but just wanted to point out that if this is hoax, then vandals have also infected Battle_of_Lautulae and List of Roman battles and Template:Campaignbox_Samnite_Wars with Ciuna mentions. Bwithh 22:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Followup Note that this battle is supposed to have taken place in 315BC, one year after the battle of Lautulae in 316BC (According to the Lautulae article before I corrected it). But the battle of Lautulae took place in 315 BC according to these sources:  Bwithh 22:32, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The battle of Laetula is real enough (Livius, aUc IX-25), but references probably got in by avid wikipedians, taking all articles in the wiki for granted. Incorrectly, but in good faith. The same happened on the dutch wiki and even our italian friends admit they got suckered in. Never attribute to a vandal what can be explained by mere oversight. Kleuske 23:05, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax as per eagle-eyed nom. Cannot find any trace of this supposed battle in books.google.com Bwithh 22:34, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * All honours go to Horatius on it.wiki and MM on the italian wiki, they are the eagle-eyed ones. I just passed on the message. Kleuske 23:10, 1 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Please see also link in List of battles before 601 & 315 BC :) User Horatius on it.wiki (why my link doesn't work in this page?)  Vale! (it-Horatius :) --151.37.239.155 09:08, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
