(Of the World, 3670—Of Rome, 370.)

The city being[1]destroyed by the Gauls, the Romans had[2]thoughts of[3]leaving it, and[4]removing to[5]Veii; but were[6]dissuaded from that[7]design by[8]Camillus;[9]whilst[10]Marcus Manlius (who[11]obtained the[12]surname of[13]Capitolinus for his[14]noble[15]defence of the[16]Capitol)[17]endeavoured by[18]ambition and[19]popular[20]favour[21]to possess himself of the[22]supreme[23]power, he was[24]thrown from the[25]Tarpeian rock, which he had[26]defended, in the year 370.

In the year 377, there was a[27]strong[28]contest[29]between the[30]nobility and the[31]people.[32]C. Licinius Stolo and[33]L. Sextius,[34]tribunes of[35]the people,[36]proposed a[37]law for[38]choosing[39]one of the consuls out[40]of the people. They[41]carried their point at last, in the year 387, and in the[42]following year[43]L. Sextius was elected consul.

[44]After this, the Romans had[45]war with the[46]Tiburtes, the[47]Tarquinenses, and[48]Falisci; and again with the[49]Gauls, who being[50]drawn up[51]in order of[52]battle, one of them[53]sent a[54]challengeto the Romans, and was[55]slain by[56]one M. Valerius, a[57]tribune of the[58]soldiers, by the[59]assistance of a[60]crow, who[61]from thence had the[62]surname of[63]Corvinus.

[64]But of all their[65]wars, none was more[66]troublesome and[67]lasting than that[68]against the[69]Samnites; which the Romans[70]undertook the year of the city 411, at the[71]request of the[72]Campani. It[73]lasted[74]seventy years;[75]though they were[76]several times[77]beaten, as in the year 413, in which the[78]Latins[79]rose up in arms[80]against the Romans, but were the year after[81]conquered by the[82]consuls Torquatus and Decius; the[83]former of whom[84]beheaded his own[85]son for[86]fighting[87]without his[88]order; the[89]other[90]devoted himself to[91]destruction for the[92]army; after which the[93]enemies[94]submitted, but[95]soon after[96]rebelling again, they were[97]at last[98]entirely[99]reduced in the year 416.

[100]About this time the[101]Gauls[102]made a[103]peace with the Romans, which they[104]kept[105]thirty years. But in 450, the[106]Cisalpine,[107]together with the[108]Transalpine[109]Gauls, and the[110]Tuscans,[111]laid waste the[112]Roman[113]territories. The Cisalpine[114]returning[115]home[116]loaded with[117]spoils,[118]fellout together about them.[119]Four years after that, having[120]joined the[121]Samnites and[122]Tuscans, they fell[123]upon the Roman[124]army[125]commanded by[126]L. Scipio, the[127]proprætor, in which[128]battle,[129]P. Decius[130]the consul[131]devoted himself.

[132]Ten years after this, the[133]Galli Senones being[134]invited by the[135]Lucani,[136]Brutii, Samnites, and Tuscans,[137]besieged[138]Aretium, and having[139]vanquished[140]L. Cæcilius the[141]prætor,[142]killed 13,000 Romans; which[143]overthrow the consul Dolobella[144]revenged upon them[145]soon after; for having[146]routed the[147]Gauls, and[148]taken their city of Sena,[149]he sent a[150]colony there. The[151]Boii being[152]moved at the[153]hard[154]fate of the[155]Senones,[156]entered into an[157]alliance with the[158]Tuscans, and[159]engaged the Romans at the[160]lake of[161]Vadimon; in which[162]battle[163]almost[164]all the Tuscans were[165]slain, and very[166]few of the Boii[167]escaped. This[168]happened in the year of the city 471; but in the[169]following year the Boii were[170]entirely[171]reduced, which was[172]about three years[173]before[174]Pyrrhus,[175]came into[176]Italy.

The[177]Palæpolitani[178]likewise,[179]where[180]now[181]Naples is,[182]venturing to make war upon the Romans,were[183]subdued the third year[184]after,[185]that is to say, in the year of the city 428, by[186]Publius the proconsul.
