1When the enemy's camp had been taken, full of everything — for he had sent them out stripped — he gave all the plunder to his own soldiers alone; 2rebuking the consular army and the consul himself, he said, 'You will go without a share of the plunder, soldier, taken from that enemy to whom you were very nearly plunder yourself; 2and you, Lucius Minucius, until you begin to have the spirit of a consul, will command these legions as a lieutenant.' 3So Minucius resigns the consulship and, as ordered, remains with the army. 3But so meekly obedient were men's minds in those days to a better authority that this army, mindful of the kindness rather than the disgrace, both voted the dictator a golden crown a pound in weight and saluted him as its patron as he set out.
4At Rome the senate, convened by Quintus Fabius, prefect of the city, ordered Quinctius to enter the city in triumph with the column with which he was coming. 4The enemy's leaders were led before his chariot, the military standards were carried in front, and the army followed laden with plunder. 4Feasts are said to have been laid out in front of everyone's houses, and the soldiers, feasting as they went, followed the chariot with the triumphal song and the customary jests, in the manner of revellers. 6On that day citizenship was granted to Lucius Mamilius of Tusculum with the approval of all. 6The dictator would have resigned his office at once, had not the trial of Marcus Volscius, the false witness, held him back: fear of the dictator prevented the tribunes from obstructing it.
6Volscius was condemned and went off into exile at Lanuvium. 7Quinctius resigned on the sixteenth day the dictatorship he had accepted for six months. 7During those days the consul Nautius fights brilliantly against the Sabines at Eretum; 7on top of the devastation of their fields, this disaster too befell the Sabines. 7Fabius was sent to Algidus as Minucius' successor. 8At the end of the year the tribunes agitated about the law; 8but because two armies were away, the senators prevented anything from being brought before the people; 8the plebs won, so that they elected the same tribunes for the fifth time. 9They say that wolves were seen on the Capitol and were chased off by dogs; 9and that on account of that prodigy the Capitol was purified.
9These were the events of that year.
