Ab Urbe Condita With An English Translation, books 1-10, 21-45, with periochae 11-20

1. Polybius ( l.c.) says practically the same thing, although he seems to use ste/fanos to mean any sort of complimentary present. In XXXIX. v. 14 Livy says that Fulvius displayed in his triumph golden crowns weighing one hundred and twelve pounds.

2. B.C. 189

3. Fulvius was later severely criticized for his treatment of Ambracia: cf. xliii. 5 below, and his defence in XXXIX. iv. 11-12. Polybius does not mention this, and Livy may have inferred it from the later debate as to the triumph of Fulvius.
