[The History of Rome, Books 01 to 08 by Titus Livius]@TWC D-Link bookThe History of Rome, Books 01 to 08 BOOK II 56/165
The consuls were Q.Claelius and T.Lartius.After them A. Sempronius and M.Minucius.In their consulship, a temple was dedicated to Saturn, and the Saturnalia appointed to be kept as a festival.
Then A.Postumius and T.Virginius were chosen consuls.
In some authors I find that the battle at the lake Regillus was not fought till this year, and that A.Postumius, because the fidelity of his colleague was suspected, laid down his office, and thereupon was created dictator. Such great mistakes of dates perplex one with the history of these times, the magistrates being arranged differently in different writers, that you cannot determine what consuls succeeded certain consuls,[83] nor in what particular year every remarkable action happened, by reason of the antiquity, not only of the facts, but also of the historians. Then Ap.
Claudius and P.Servilius were elected consuls.
This year was remarkable for the news of Tarquin's death.
