There the two consular armies, overrunning every part of the country during the space of five months, laid it entirely waste.

There were in Samnium forty-five places where Decius, and eighty-six where the other consul, encamped.

Nor did they leave traces only of having been there, as ramparts and trenches, but other dreadful mementos of it--general desolation and regions depopulated.

Fabius also took the city of Cimetra, where he made prisoners two thousand four hundred soldiers; and there were slain in the assault about four hundred and thirty.
Going thence to Rome to preside at the elections, he used all expedition in despatching that business.

All the first-called centuries voted Quintus Fabius consul.
