Following Bread Crumbs to Telamon

I fear we may have to follow more bread crumbs before we can provide a good answer for young master Desert's question. Nice read about Telamon, and not to draw too fine a point, however I've recently relocated the battle field and its actually not at Telamon. It seems the battle occurred at a place called Fonteblanda situated astride the Via Aurelia, almost half way between Rome and Pisae. Straight line distance Telamon is located on the coast, about 2 and half miles to the west, and is separated from the battlefield by a large bowl-shaped bay (about two miles wide). Once you compare a good translation of the battle text, with the battle field site, its very clear what actually transpired there. I think this may shine a little more light on the subject.
