[2] The commons ratified it much more eagerly than they had done the other law. ¹

Besides the new wars determined on in the previous year, the Faliscans also rose up as enemies. They were charged with two offences: their youth had fought on the side of the Tarquinienses; and they had refused the demand of the fetials that they should give up the Romans who had taken refuge in Falerii, after the defeat.

[2] In addition to the new wars determined on the preceding year, a new enemy arose in the Faliscians, in consequence of a double charge; both that their youth had taken up arms in conjunction with the Tarquinians, and because they had refused to restore to the demand of the Roman heralds those who had fled to Falerii, after the unsuccessful battle.

[2] the plebs adopted it with much more eagerness than the Poetilian Law against canvassing. In¹ addition to the fresh wars decided upon the previous year, the Faliscans had been guilty of two acts of hostility; their men had fought in the ranks of the Tarquinians, and they had refused to give up those who had fled after their defeat to Tarquinii, when the Fetials demanded their surrender.

1. Tacitus tells us ( Annals VI. xvi.) that the twelve Tables had forbidden a higher rate of interest. If so, the tribunes were merely reviving an obsolete enactment. The words unciarium fenus clearly mean a rate of one twelfth but just how that rate was applied is very doubtful. It may be 1/12 of the whole principal or 1/12 of 1 per cent.; the period may be one month or one year; and, finally, the year may be 10 months or 12. The rate in modern terms may then be 1 per cent. (as translated here), 8 1/3 per cent. as assumed by Frank, Economic Survey of Ancient Rome, I. 282), 10 per cent. (cf. Weissenborn ad loc. ) or 100 per cent. (so apparently Last, Camb, Anc. Hist. VII. 476).
