A colony settled at Spoletum. An army sent against the Ligurians; being the first war with that state. The Sardinians and Corsicans rebel, and are subdued. Tuccia, a vestal, found guilty of incest. War declared against the Illyrians, who had slain an ambassador; they are subdued and brought to submission. The number of praetors increased to four. The Transalpine Gauls make an irruption into Italy: are conquered and put to the sword. The Roman army, in conjunction with the Latins, is said to have amounted to no less than three hundred thousand men. The Roman army for the first time crosses the Po; fights with and subdues the Insubrian Gauls. Claudius Marcellus, consul, having slain Viridomarus, the general of the Insubrian Gauls, carries off the spolia opima. The Istrians subdued; also the Illyrians, who had rebelled. The censors hold a lustrum, in which the number of the citizens is found to be two hundred and seventy thousand two hundred and thirteen. The sons of freed-men formed into four tribes; the Esquiline, Palatine, Suburran, and Colline. Caius Flaminius, censor, constructs the Flaminian road, and builds the Flaminian circus.
