 Eventually, tired of the continual raids, the Pompeians moved their foraging operations to the more remote areas.This was what Sertorius had been waiting for; During the night he ordered ten cohorts of heavily armed troops and ten cohorts of light troops under the command of Octavius Gracinus, along with Tarquitius Priscus and two thousand cavalry to move out of his camp and lay an ambush against the foragers.The Battle of Lauron was a brilliant tactical victory for the Sertorians and proved the war was far from over.
