"Thou hast saved Rome, but lost thy son." [Illustration: ROMAN CAMP] And so it proved, for when he had broken up his camp and returned to the Volscian territory till the senate should recall him as they proceeded, Tullus, angry and disappointed, stirred up a tumult, and he was killed by the people before he could be sent for to Rome.

A temple to "Women's Good Speed" was raised on the spot where Veturia knelt to him.
Another very proud patrician family was the Quinctian.

The father, Lucius Quinctius, was called Cincinnatus, from his long flowing curls of hair.

He was the ablest man among the Romans, but stern and grave, and his eldest son Kaeso was charged by the tribunes with a murder and fled the country.

Soon after there was a great inroad of the AEqui and Volscians, and the Romans found themselves in great danger.
