Mettius Fufetius, dux Albanorum, dubiam et suspectam semper societatis suae fidem repente in ipsa acie detexit: nudato enim Romani exercitus latere in proximo colle consedit, pro adiutore speculator pugnae futurus, ut aut victis insultaret aut victores fessos adgrederetur.
Mettius Fufetius, leader of the Albans, suddenly in the midst of battle unmasked his always dubious and suspect loyalty as an ally. For laying bare the flank of the Roman army, he took up a position on a neighbouring hill, intending to be a spectator of the fight rather than an assistant, so that he should either spring upon the losers or attack the weary victors.
