38. During the same summer in the land of the Bruttii Clampetia was taken by storm by the consul. Consentia1 together with Pandosia and other cities of no importance voluntarily submitted to his authority. [2] And since the time for elections was now at hand, it was decided to summon Cornelius to Rome from Etruria, where there was no war. [3] He announced the election of Gnaeus Servilius Caepio and Gaius Servilius Geminus as consuls. [4] Then elections for the praetorships were held. Elected were Publius Cornelius Lentulus, Publius Quinctilius Varus, Publius Aelius Paetus, Publius Villius Tappulus, the last two being made praetors while they were plebeian aediles. [5] The consul after the elections were over returned to the army in Etruria.

Priests who died that year and successors appointed [p. 359]in their places were: [6] Tiberius Veturius Philo,2 elected and installed flamen of Mars in place of Marcus Aemilius Regillus, who had died in the preceding year;3 [7] in succession to Marcus Pomponius Matho, augur and decemvir,4 were elected Marcus Aurelius Cotta as decemvir, Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus as augur, being a mere youth, which was then a very unusual thing in the assignment of priesthoods. [8] A gilded four-horse chariot was set up in that year on the Capitol by the curule aediles Gaius Livius and Marcus Servilius Geminus. And the Roman Games were repeated for two days, as were the Plebeian Games also for two days by the aediles Publius Aelius and Publius Villius; and on account of the festival there was a banquet for Jupiter.

1 Chief town of the Bruttii, modern Cosenza, captured by the Carthaginians in 216 B.C. It returned to the Romans in 213, but had changed sides once more; cf. XXIII. xxx. 5; XXV. i. 2; XXX. xix. 10 (a repetition). Later an important point on the great inland road, Via Popilia, from Capua to Reggio (Regium); C.I.L. X. 6950 (= I. ii, ed. 2, 638). Clampetia was on the coast south-west of Consentia.

3 Immediately correcting the opening words of the paragraph. Cf. xi. 14 for Regillus' death in 205 B.C.

4 Pomponius, probably praetor in 216 B.C., had held two priesthoods concurrently, as did Otacilius in XXVII. vi. 15.
