[5] These regions, and especially those bordering on Italy, came gradually and with slight effort under the dominion of Rome; they were first essayed by Fulvius,¹ then undermined in petty battles by Sextius,² and finally subdued by Fabius Maximus,³ on whom the full completion of this business (when he had vanquished the formidable tribe of the Allobroges)⁴ conferred that surname.⁵
