José Antonio Saravia José Antonio Saravia , José Antonio Sarabia , ( Villanueva del Fresno , Spain , 1785 - Resident in Russia since about 1812 - General of the Russian Army 1843 - Kamianets - Podilskyi , now in Ukraine , 2 April 1871 ) , was General Inspector of the Russian Military Academies under the Tsars Nikolai I and Alexander II . He married at Kremenetz , now Kamianets - Podilskyi , Larisa Ivanovna , losing there three children and his wife . It seems he got another younger brother or half brother named Manuel José Saravia y Perdigos , Manuel José Sarabia y Perdigos , ( Oliva de Jerez , Spain , 1790 – 1852 ) who fought also in Spain after the age of 18 , against Napoleon after 1808 , became a lieutenant in a Spanish Naval Expedition in Napoleonic Denmark , the same than his brother , being also integrated as his brother in the Russian Army after Borodino battle as his brother in 1812 , became a General of the Russian Army in 1824 , aged 34 , under Tsar Alexander I , Emperor of Russia from 1801 to 1825 , much earlier than that José Antonio , and is reported as dying in 1852 , much earlier also than his elder brother / half brother José Antonio . Curiously enough , Oliva de Jerez , where Manuel José was born and Villanueva del Fresno where José Antonio was born , both in the Province of Badajoz , near Olivenza , are nearby and there is a gap of only 5 years between both persons . It seems that the second name of José Antonio was also Perdigos , but we know mostly about rumours mentioning him as born of a single mother and being adopted by his grand parents , named Perdigos .

Battle of Aquilonia The Battle of Aquilonia was fought in 293 BC between the Roman Republic and the Samnites . 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 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 . When he was struck dead by a javelin before battle began , the interpretation of Papirius was seen to be fulfilled . During the battle , the Samnite line held its own for a long while , until a cloud of dust made by Papirius ' s auxilia cavalry frightened the Samnites , and convinced the Romans that Carvilius ' s army ( at the time , besieging another city ) had come to finish them off . A cavalry charge on the Samnite center eventually broke the army and they routed . After the battle , the Samnites fled into the city of Aquilonia itself , and their camp . The camp was captured and looted by the Romans , while taking the city itself proved more difficult . The city was eventually taken , with much of the Samnite survivors being slaughtered in the fighting . The loot taken from the Samnites this day was so extravagant , according to Livy , that there was enough gold and silver to decorate all the public buildings of Rome , with some left over to decorate the public buildings of other Roman cities as well . Consul Papirius Cursor was unanimously decreed a triumph , and a period of seven days thanksgiving was declared in his honor . Site of the battle . The probable location is modern Agnone , Molise . There was also a Roman city called " Aquilonia " , which is modern Lacedonia in Campania , so it was previously supposed it was the site of the battle . Because of this , in 1861 , the neighbouring town of " Carbonara " was renamed Aquilonia .
