The Battle of Mount Falernus was a battle during the early stages of the Social War.[1] It was a victory for the Italian rebels causing the Roman army under Pompey Strabo to retreat.[1][2][3] The rebels pursued them and besieged them at Firmum.[1] Some have argued that the different accounts of the battle are instead two separate Roman defeats.[1]
