Essentially this battle ended the wars, both civil and Italian. Sulla’s victory broke the Samnites and Lucanians – the last bastion of Italian resistance – and demoralized the army of Carrinas and Censorinus. On news of the defeat of their cause, both Marian generals attempted to emulate the example of Carbo and Norbanus and flee abroad, but they had left it too late. They were quickly captured and brought to Sulla.
