Armies were sent against both.

The Samnites fell by lot to Sulpicius, the Apulians to AEmilius.

Some writers say, that this war was not waged with the Apulians, but that the allied states of that nation were defended against the violence and injustice of the Samnites.

But the circumstances of the Samnites, who could with difficulty, at that period, support a war in which themselves were engaged, render it more probable that they did not make war on the Apulians, but that both nations were in arms against the Romans at the same time.

However, no memorable event occurred.
