Hiero I Of Syracuse allied with Aristodemus, the Tyrant of Cumae, to defend against Etruscan expansion into southern Italy . In 474 they met and defeated the Etruscan fleet at Cumae in the Bay Of Naples . After their defeat, the Etruscans lost most of their political influence in Italy. They lost control of the sea and their territories were taken over by the Romans , Samnites , and Gaul s. The Etruscans would later join the failed Athenian Expedition against Syracuse in 415 BC , which contributed even further to their decline. |
