The Battle of Tifernum (297 BC) was an important battle of the Third Samnite War, fought in 297 BC near Castropignano, either on the banks of the river Biferno (Latin: Tifernus) or near the Matese mountains (Latin: Tifernus Mons) in the province of Campobasso, in what is now southern Italy, where the Romans overcame a determined Samnite army. The result would lead to the decisive Battle of Sentinum, which granted Rome the domination of central Italy.
