Liv. 2.19.1Cōnsulēs Ser. Sulpicius M'. Tullius;The consuls were Servius Sulpicius and Manius Tullius; Liv. 2.19.1nihil dignum memoriā āctum;nothing worth remembering was done; Liv. 2.19.2T. Aebūtius deinde et C. Vetusius.then came Titus Aebutius and Gaius Vetusius. Liv. 2.19.2Hīs cōnsulibus Fīdēnae obsessae, Crustumeria capta;In their consulship Fidenae was besieged and Crustumeria taken; Liv. 2.19.2Praeneste ab Latīnīs ad Rōmānōs dēscīvit.Praeneste went over from the Latins to the Romans. Liv. 2.19.2Nec ultrā bellum Latīnum glīscēns iam per aliquot annōs dīlātum.Nor was the Latin war, which had now been smouldering for several years, put off any longer. Liv. 2.19.3A. Postumius dictātor T. Aebūtius magister equitum magnīs cōpiīs peditum equitumque profectī ad lacum Rēgillum in agrō Tusculānō agminī hostium occurrērunt et, quia Tarquiniōs esse in exercitū Latīnōrum audītum est, sustinērī īra nōn potuit, quīn extemplō cōnflīgerent.Aulus Postumius as dictator and Titus Aebutius as master of the horse set out with great forces of infantry and cavalry and met the enemy's column at Lake Regillus in the territory of Tusculum; and because it was heard that the Tarquinii were in the army of the Latins, their anger could not be held back from joining battle at once.
Liv. 2.19.5Ergō etiam proelium aliquantō quam cētera gravius atque atrōcius fuit.Accordingly the battle too was a good deal fiercer and more savage than the others. Liv. 2.19.5Nōn enim ducēs ad regendam modo cōnsiliō rem adfuēre, sed suīsmet ipsī corporibus dīmicantēs miscuēre certāmina, nec quisquam procerum ferme hāc aut illā ex aciē sine vulnere praeter dictātōrem Rōmānum excessit.For the generals were not present merely to direct the action by their counsel, but, fighting in person with their own bodies, they joined in the struggle, and hardly any of the chief men on either side left the field unwounded except the Roman dictator. Liv. 2.19.6In Postumium prīmā in aciē suōs adhortantem īnstruentemque Tarquinius Superbus, quamquam iam aetāte et vīribus erat gravior, equum īnfestus admīsit ictusque ab latere concursū suōrum receptus in tūtum est.Against Postumius, as he was encouraging and marshalling his men in the front line, Tarquinius Superbus, although he was now burdened by age and failing strength, spurred his horse in fury; struck in the side, he was carried to safety by a rush of his own men. Liv. 2.19.7Et ad alterum cornū Aebūtius magister equitum in Octāvium Mamilium impetum dederat nec fefellit veniēns Tusculānum ducem;On the other wing too Aebutius, the master of the horse, had charged at Octavius Mamilius, and his approach did not escape the Tusculan leader; Liv. 2.19.7contrā quem et ille concitat equum.he too spurs his horse against him.
Liv. 2.19.7Tantaque vīs īnfestīs venientium hastīs fuit, ut bracchium Aebūtiō trāiectum sit, Mamiliō pectus percussum.And so great was the force of their levelled spears as they came on that Aebutius' arm was pierced through and Mamilius was struck in the chest. Liv. 2.19.8Hunc quidem in secundam aciem Latīnī recēpēre;Mamilius, at least, the Latins took back into the second line; Liv. 2.19.9aebūtius cum sauciō bracchiō tenēre tēlum nōn posset, pugnā excessit.Aebutius, since he could not hold a weapon with his wounded arm, withdrew from the fight. Liv. 2.19.10Latīnus dux nihil dēterritus vulnere proelium ciet et, quia suōs perculsōs vidēbat, arcessit cohortem exulum Rōmānōrum, cui L. Tarquinī fīlius praeerat.The Latin leader, not at all deterred by his wound, keeps the battle going, and because he saw that his men were shaken, summons the cohort of Roman exiles which the son of Lucius Tarquinius commanded. Liv. 2.19.10Ea, quō maiōre pugnābat īrā ob ērepta bona patriamque adēmptam, pugnam parumper restituit.This cohort, fighting with all the greater anger because their property had been snatched from them and their country taken away, restored the battle for a little while.
