The History of Rome, Books IX–XXVI · 1850
Book XV (Epitome)
Translated by D. Spillan and Cyrus R. Edmonds (1849-50)
The Tarentines overcome: peace and freedom granted to them. The Campanian legion, which had forcibly taken possession of Rhegium, besieged there; lay down their arms, and are punished with death. Some young men, who had ill-treated the ambassadors from the Apollonians to the senate of Rome, are delivered up to them. Peace granted to the Picentians. Two colonies established; one at Ariminum in Picenum, another at Beneventum in Samnium. Silver coin now, for the first time, used by the Roman people. The Umbrians and Sallentines subdued. The number of quaestors increased to eight.
