Immediately after the siege had commenced, a largely-attended meeting of the national council of the Etruscans was held at the fane of Voltumna; but no decision was arrived at as to whether the Veientines should be defended by the armed strength of the whole nation.

A pitched battle was fought with the Volscians between Ferentinum and Ecetrae, which, resulted in favour of the Romans. Then the tribunes commenced the siegeof Artena, a Volsczan town. In attempting a sortie the enemywere driven back into the town, ,giving thereby an, opportunityto the Romans of forcing an entrance, and with the exceptionof the citadel the whole place was captured. A body of theenemy retired into the citadel, which was protected by the natureof its position; below the citadel many were killed or taken prisoners.

The mistake arises from the fact that there a city of the same name between Caere and Veil, but it destroyed in the titime meof the kings of Rome, and it belonged to Caere, not Veii. The other town of the same name whose destruction I have mentioned was in the Volscian territory.
