abstract	Asculum is a small town on the Adriatic coast of present-day Italy, and the site of the climactic Battle of Asculum between the Roman Republic and a combined army under the banner of the Kingdom of Epirus. The battle was both a turning point in the First Pyrrhic War and the event immediately preceding the divergence of the timeline In The Shadow of Olympus from the standard timeline. The Epirote and colonial forces succeeded in defeating and driving the Romans from the field, but suffered heavy losses. The battle is particularly historic for two reasons. For the first time ever, on the hills near Asculum, the legendary Greek phalanxes clashed with the legions of Rome. Today, victory at a crippling cost is still remembered as a Pyrrhic Victory.
