ave one another, and ended their feud. After that, followed by the applause of all, they were escorted to the Capitoline. Both the interest of the leaders in such a situation and the readiness of the censors to yield were notably approved and lauded by the senate. Then, on the demand of the censors that the sum of money which they were to use on public works be assigned them, one year's revenue was decreed to them.Livy has not mentioned a corresponding sum before. The censors of 169 B.C. received the revenue for half a year (XLIV. xvi. 9). There is no translation of the expression into definite figures until 62 B.C. (Plutarch, Pompey, 45), when one year's revenue amounted to 50,000,000 denarii. Frank (Economic Survey of Ancient Rome, Baltimore, 1933, I. 152-153) estimates the revenue in 179 B.C. as perhaps one-tenth of that sum. He further calculates that the Basilica Aemilia (li. 5 below) would have cost 12,000 denarii, so that a good deal could be done with 5,000,000 dena

The climax of a show which was big for that time was that in three days seventy-four gladiators fought. While the number of gladiators was large for the time, it was so small in comparison with later games as to deserve mention. There is no trace of loss at the end of Book XL, and the account of the Voconian law, mentioned in the Periocha, may have been found in some lost section; but the Periocha is probably in error since the law quite certainly belongs to 169 B.C. (cf. Broughton, Magistrates I. 427).
