Etruscan wolf's head helmet 6th-5th C. BCE

"Thus, in addition to the ignominy they incurred in deserting their camp, they also exposed themselves to great danger in returning in the dark through the enemy's country, without observing any order. Certainly, if the Tyrrhenians had learned of it and had followed close on their heels as they departed, nothing could have prevented the army from being utterly destroyed."

-Dionysius of Halicarnassus, The Roman Antiquities: Book 9.4
