BOOK II
109/165

The Volscians afterwards returned in conjunction with the AEqui into the Roman territory: but the AEqui would no longer have Attius Tullus as their leader; hence from dispute, whether the Volscians or the AEqui should give a general to the allied army, a sedition, and afterwards a furious battle arose.

There the good fortune of the Roman people destroyed the two armies of the enemy, by a contest no less bloody than obstinate.

T.Sicinius and C.
Aquillius were made consuls.

The Volsci fell as a province to Sicinius; the Hernici (for they too were in arms) to Aquillius.

That year the Hernici were defeated; they came off with respect to the Volscians on equal terms.
41.Sp.Cassius and Proculus Virginius were next made consuls; a treaty was struck with the Hernici; two-thirds of their land were taken from them: of this the consul Cassius was about to distribute one half among the Latins, the other half among the commons.
