The Romans, led by the Consuls Lucius Papirius Cursor and Spurius Carvilius Maximus , were victorious. According to Titus Livius , the Samnites were desperately short of men, and thus called a general muster to Aquilonia, which all men of Samnium were required to answer. There, they took strict religious oaths to their country, and were then forced to join the army upon an altar to the gods. If they refused, they were slain on the spot and their bodies left in a pile as a reminder to all others what would happen if they refused. The more experienced men, or those chosen by friends, made up what was called the Linen Legion , due to their linen tunics which were brightly decorated. According to Livy ref Ab Urbe Condita , 10.40 ref a feeder of the sacred chicken pullariu s in the Roman army falsely reported favorable auspices to the consul, and that this falsification was discovered prior to battle. Papirius responded that the ill omen applied only to the pullarius, and placed him in the front line.
