[4] In the naval battle, after he was called on for military assistance, Hiero I of Syracuse allied with naval forces from the maritime Greek cities of southern Italy to defend against Etruscan expansion into southern Italy.

They lost control of the sea and their territories were eventually taken over by the Romans, Samnites, and Gauls.

The Syracusans dedicated a captured Etruscan helmet at the great panhellenic sanctuary at Olympia, a piece of armour found in the German excavations there.

The Etruscans would later join the failed Athenian expedition against Syracuse in 415 BC, which contributed even further to their decline.
