Liv. 3.63.1Vādunt igitur in proelium ab suā parte omissum et locum, ex quō cesserant, repetunt;So they went into the fight they had abandoned on their side and regained the ground from which they had retreated; Liv. 3.63.1mōmentōque nōn restitūta modo pugna, sed inclīnātur etiam Sabīnīs cornū.and in a moment not only was the battle restored, but the Sabine wing actually gives way. Liv. 3.63.1Eques inter ōrdinēs peditum tēctus sē ad equōs recipit.The cavalry, sheltered among the ranks of the infantry, went back to their horses. Liv. 3.63.2Trānsvolat inde in partem alteram suīs victōriae nūntius;Then they galloped across to the other part of the field, bearing news of the victory to their comrades; Liv. 3.63.2simul et in hostīs iam pavidōs, quippe fūsō suae partis validiōre cornū, impetum facit.at the same time they charged the enemy, who were already panic-stricken, since the stronger wing of their side had been routed. Liv. 3.63.2Nōn aliōrum eō proeliō virtūs magis ēnituit.No men's courage shone out more in that battle. Liv. 3.63.3Cōnsul prōvidēre omnia, laudāre fortīs, increpāre, sīcubi segnior pugna esset.The consul foresaw everything, praised the brave, and rebuked any wherever the fighting was slacker.
Liv. 3.63.3Castīgātī fortium statim virōrum opera ēdēbant;Those rebuked at once performed the deeds of brave men; Liv. 3.63.3tantumque hōs pudor, quantum aliōs laudēs excitābant.and shame roused these as much as praise roused the others. Liv. 3.63.4Redintegrātō clamōre undique omnēs cōnīsī hostem āvertunt, nec deinde Rōmāna vīs sustinērī potuit.The shout was renewed, and all, straining on every side, routed the enemy, and thereafter the Roman onslaught could not be withstood. Liv. 3.63.4Sabīnī fūsī passim per agrōs castra hostī ad praedam relinquunt.The Sabines, scattered far and wide through the fields, left their camp to the enemy as plunder. Liv. 3.63.4Ibi nōn sociōrum, sīcut in Algidō, rēs, sed suās Rōmānus populātiōnibus agrōrum āmissās recēpit.There the Romans recovered not the property of allies, as on Algidus, but their own, lost through the ravaging of their fields. Liv. 3.63.5Geminā victōriā duōbus bifāriam proeliīs partā malignē senātus in ūnum diem supplicātiōnēs cōnsulum nōmine dēcrēvit.For a double victory won in two battles in two places the senate grudgingly decreed thanksgivings in the consuls' name for a single day. Liv. 3.63.5Populus iniussū et alterō diē frequēns iit supplicātum;The people, unbidden, went in crowds to give thanks on the second day too; Liv. 3.63.5et haec vaga populārisque supplicātiō studiīs prope celebrātior fuit.and this unofficial, popular thanksgiving was, through enthusiasm, almost more thronged.
Liv. 3.63.6Cōnsulēs ex compositō eōdem bīduō ad urbem accessēre senātumque in Mārtium campum ēvocāvēre.By arrangement the consuls approached the city within the same two days and summoned the senate to the Campus Martius. Liv. 3.63.6Ubi cum dē rēbus ab sē gestīs agerent, questī prīmōrēs patrum senātum inter mīlitēs dēditā operā terrōris causā habērī.When they were reporting there on their achievements, the leading senators complained that the senate was being held among the soldiers on purpose to intimidate it. Liv. 3.63.7Itaque inde cōnsulēs, nē crīminātiōnī locus esset, in prāta Flāminia, ubi nunc aedēs Apollinis est — iam tum Apollināre appellābant — , āvocāvēre senātum.And so the consuls, to give no ground for accusation, called the senate away from there to the Flaminian Meadows, where the temple of Apollo now stands — even then they called it the Apollinare. Liv. 3.63.8Ubi cum ingentī cōnsēnsū patrum negārētur triumphus, L. Icilius tribūnus plēbis tulit ad populum dē triumphō cōnsulum multīs dissuāsum prōdeuntibus, maximē C. Claudiō vōciferante: dē patribus, nōn dē hostibus cōnsulēs triumphāre velle, grātiamque prō prīvātō meritō in tribūnum, nōn prō virtūte honōrem petī.When there the triumph was refused by a great consensus of the senators, Lucius Icilius, tribune of the plebs, brought the consuls' triumph before the people, while many came forward to speak against it, above all Gaius Claudius, who cried out that it was over the senators, not over the enemy, that the consuls wished to triumph, and that what was sought was thanks for a private service to a tribune, not an honour for valour.
Liv. 3.63.9Numquam ante dē triumphō per populum āctum, semper aestimātiōnem arbitriumque eius honōris penes senātum fuisse.Never before had a triumph been dealt with through the people; the assessment and decision of that honour had always rested with the senate. Liv. 3.63.10Nē rēgēs quidem maiestātem summī ōrdinis inminuisse.Not even the kings had diminished the majesty of the highest order. Liv. 3.63.10Nē ita omnia tribūnī potestātis suae inplērent, ut nūllum pūblicum cōnsilium sinerent esse.The tribunes should not so fill everything with their own power as to allow no public council to exist. Liv. 3.63.10Ita dēmum līberam cīvitātem fore, ita aequātās lēgēs, sī sua quisque iūra ōrdō, suam maiestātem teneat.Only then would the state be free, only then would the laws be equal, if each order kept its own rights and its own majesty. Liv. 3.63.11In eandem sententiam multa et ā cēterīs seniōribus patrum cum essent dicta, omnēs tribūs eam rogātiōnem accēpērunt.Though much was said to the same effect by the other elder senators too, all the tribes passed the proposal. Liv. 3.63.11Tum prīmum sine auctōritāte senātūs populī iussū triumphātum est.Then for the first time a triumph was celebrated by order of the people without the authority of the senate.
