[1]

During the same summer in the land of the Bruttii Clampetia was taken by storm by the consul. Consentia ¹ together with Pandosia and other cities of no importance voluntarily submitted to his authority.

[2] And since the time for elections was now at hand, it was decided to summon Cornelius to Rome from Etruria, where there was no war.

[3] He announced the election of Gnaeus Servilius Caepio and Gaius Servilius Geminus as consuls.

[4] Then elections for the praetorships were held. Elected were Publius Cornelius Lentulus, Publius Quinctilius Varus, Publius Aelius Paetus, Publius Villius Tappulus, the last two being made praetors while they were plebeian aediles.

[5] The consul after the elections were over returned to the army in Etruria.

Priests who died that year and successors appointed in their places were:

[6] Tiberius Veturius Philo, ² elected and installed flamen of Mars in place of Marcus Aemilius Regillus, who had died in the preceding year; ³

[7] in succession to Marcus Pomponius Matho, augur and decemvir, ⁴ were elected Marcus Aurelius Cotta as decemvir, Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus as augur, being a mere youth, which was then a very unusual thing in the assignment of priesthoods.

[8] A gilded four-horse chariot was set up in that year on the Capitol by the curule aediles Gaius Livius and Marcus Servilius Geminus. And the Roman Games were repeated for two days, as were the Plebeian Games also for two days by the aediles Publius Aelius and Publius Villius; and on account of the festival there was a banquet for Jupiter.

The same summer Clampetia in Bruttium was taken by the consul by storm. Consentia and Pandosia, with some other inconsiderable states, submitted voluntarily.

[2] As the time for the elections was now drawing near, it was thought best that Cornelius should be summoned to Rome from Etruria, as there was no war there.

[3] He elected, as consuls, Cneius Servilius Caepio and Caius Servilius Geminus. The election of praetors was then held.

[4] The persons elected were, Publius Cornelius Lentulus, Publius Quinctilius Varus, Publius Aelius Paetus, and Publius Villius Tappulus. The last two were plebeian aediles when elected praetors.

[5] The elections finished, the consul returned into Etruria to his army. The priests who died this year, and those who were put in their places, were Tiberius Veturius Philo, flamen of Mars, elected and

[6] inaugurated in the room of Marcus Aemilius Regillus, who died the year before:

[7] in the room of Marcus Pomponius Matho, augur and decemvir, were elected Marcus Aurelius Cotta, decemvir, and Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, augur, being then a very young man; an instance of very rare occurrence in the disposal of the priests' offices in those times.

[8] Golden four-horsed chariots were placed this year in the Capitol by the curule aediles, Caius Livius and Marcus Servilius Geminus. The Roman games were repeated during two days. During two days also the plebeian games were repeated by the aediles, Publius Aelius and Publius Villius. There was likewise a feast of Jupiter on occasion of the games.

During the summer Clampetia in Bruttium was taken by storm by the consul; Consentia, Pandosia and some other unimportant places surrendered voluntarily.

[2] As the time for the elections was approaching it was thought best to summon Cornelius from Etruria as there were no active hostilities there, and he conducted the elections.

[3] The new consuls were Cnaeus Servilius Caepio and Caius Servilius Geminus.

[4] At the election of praetors which followed, those returned were P. Cornelius Lentulus, P. Quintilius Varus, P. Aelius Paetus and P. Villius Tappulus; the last two were plebeian aediles at the time.

[5] When the elections were over the consul returned to Etruria. Some deaths took place among the priests this year, and appointments were made to fill the vacancies.

[6] Tiberius Veturius Philo was appointed Flamen of Mars in place of M. Aemilius Regillus who died in the preceding year.

[7] M. Pomponius Matho, who had been both augur and keeper of the Sacred Books, was succeeded by M. Aurelius Cotta in the latter office and as augur by Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, a very young man, a very unusual thing at that time in appointments to the priesthood.

[8] Golden chariots were placed in the Capitol by the curule aediles, C. Livius and M. Servilius Geminus. The Roman Games were celebrated for two days by the aediles P. Aelius and P. Villius. There was also a feast in honour of Jupiter on the occasion of the Games.

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

1. Chief town of the Bruttii, modern Cosenza, captured by the Carthaginians in 216 B.C. It returned to the Romans in 213, but had changed sides once more; cf. XXIII. xxx. 5; XXV. i. 2; XXX. xix. 10 (a repetition). Later an important point on the great inland road, Via Popilia, from Capua to Reggio (Regium); C.I.L. X. 6950 (= I. ii, ed. 2, 638). Clampetia was on the coast south-west of Consentia.

2. B.C. 204

3. Immediately correcting the opening words of the paragraph. Cf. xi. 14 for Regillus' death in 205 B.C.

4. Pomponius, probably praetor in 216 B.C. , had held two priesthoods concurrently, as did Otacilius in XXVII. vi. 15.
