28. hos consules secuti sunt M. Fabius1 Dorsuo Ser. Sulpicius Camerinus. auruncum inde bellum ab repentina populatione coeptum; [2] metuque ne id factum populi unius consilium omnis nominis Latini esset, dictator—velut adversus2 armatum iam [p. 452] Latium—L. Furius creatus magistrum equitum Cn.3 Manlium Capitolinum dixit; [3] et cum—quod per magnos tumultus fieri solitum erat—iustitio indicto dilectus sine vacationibus habitus esset, legiones quantum maturari potuit in Auruncos ductae. ibi praedonum magis quam hostium animi inventi; prima itaque acie debellatum est. [4] dictator tamen, quia et ultro bellum intulerant et sine detractatione se certamini offerebant, deorum quoque opes adhibendas ratus inter ipsam dimicationem aedem Iunoni Monetae vovit; cuius damnatus voti cum victor Romam revertisset, dictatura se abdicavit. [5] senatus duumviros ad eam aedem pro amplitudine populi Romani faciendam creari iussit; locus in arce destinatus, quae area aedium M. Manli Capitolini fuerat. [6] consules dictatoris exercitu ad bellum Volscum usi Soram ex hostibus, incautos adorti, ceperunt.

anno postquam vota erat aedes Monetae dedicatur C. Marcio Rutulo4 tertium T. Manlio Torquato iterum consulibus. [7] prodigium extemplo dedicationem secutum, simile vetusto montis Albani prodigio; namque et lapidibus pluit et nox interdiu visa intendi; librisque inspectis cum plena religione [p. 454] civitas esset, senatui placuit dictatorem feriarum5 constituendarum causa dici. [8] dictus P. Valerius Publicola; magister equitum ei Q. Fabius Ambustus datus est. non tribus tantum supplicatum ire placuit sed finitimos etiam populos, ordoque iis, quo quisque die supplicarent, statutus. [9] iudicia eo anno populi tristia in feneratores facta, quibus ab aedilibus dicta dies esset, traduntur. et res haud ulla insigni ad memoriam causa ad interregnum redit; [10] ex interregno, ut id actum videri posset, ambo patricii consules creati sunt, M. Valerius Corvus tertium A. Cornelius Cossus.
