The Latins, by their own exertions, being joined by the Hernicians, without either a Roman general or Roman auxiliaries, stripped them of their camp.

Besides recovering their own effects, they obtained immense booty.

The consul C.
Nautius, however, was sent against the Volsci from Rome.

The custom, I suppose, was not pleasing for allies to carry on wars with their own forces and under their own direction without a Roman general and troops.
There was no kind of injury or indignity that was not practised against the Volsci; nor could they be prevailed on however to come to an engagement in the field.
54.

Lucius Furius and Caius Manlius were the next consuls.
