[2] The leading senators praised the motion of Camillus on the national policy, but said that, since the Latins were not all in like case, his advice could best be carried out if the consuls would introduce proposals concerning the several peoples by name, as each should seem to merit. they were therefore ¹ taken up and disposed of separately.

The Lanuvini were given citizenship, ² and their worship was restored to them, with the stipulation that the temple and grove of Juno Sospita should be held in common by the burghers of Lanuvium and the Roman

[3] People. The Aricini, Nomentani, and Pedani were received into citizenship on the same terns as the

[4] Lanuvini. The Tusculans were allowed to retain the civic rights which they enjoyed, and the charge of renewing the war' was laid to a few ringleaders, without endamaging the

[5] community. The Veliterni, Roman citizens of old, were severely punished, because they had so often revolted: not only were their walls thrown down, but their senate was carried off and commanded to dwell across the Tiber, ³ with this

[6] understanding: that if any should be caught on the hither side, his redemption should be set at a thousand pounds of bronze, and that he who had captured him might not release his prisoner from bondage until the fine was paid. colonists were settled on the senators' lands, and on their enrolment Velitrae regained its former appearance of

[7] populousness. to Antium likewise a colony was dispatched, with an understanding that the Antiates might be permitted, if they liked, themselves to enroll as

[8] colonists; their war —ships were taken from them and their people were forbidden the sea; they were granted

[9] citizenship. The Tiburtes and Praenestini were deprived of territory, not only because of the fresh charge of rebellion brought against them in common with the other Latins, but because they had once, in disgust at the power of Rome, united in arms with the Gauls, a race of savages. ⁴ The rest of the Latin ⁵ peoples were deprived of the rights of mutual trade and intermarriage and of holding common

[10] councils. The Campanians, out of compliment to their knights, because they had not consented to revolt along with the Latins, were granted citizenship without the suffrage; so too were the Fundani and Formiani, because they had always afforded a safe and peaceful passage through their territories. it was voted to give the people of Cumae and Suessula the same rights and the same terms as the

[11] Capuans. The ships of the Antiates were some of them laid up in

[12] the Roman dockyards, and some were burnt and a motion passed to employ their beaks for the adornment of a platform erected in the Forum. this place was dedicated with augural ceremonies and given the name of Rostra or The Beaks. ⁶
