Ausculum

Ausculum, also known as Asculum, is a major city of the Dauni. It would later be the site of the Battle of Asculum, a major battle in the Pyrrhic Wars that was won by Pyrrhus of Epirus, but he is known to have said of the battle "One more such victory, and we are undone," as his army had taken more casualties than he could easily replace. It is from this battle that the term "Pyrrhic victory" came.
