News of what had happened spread through the whole City, the Fabii were praised up to the skies; people said, One family had taken up the burden of the State, the Veientine war had become a private concern, a private quarrel.
If there were two houses of the same strength in the City, and the one claimed the Volscians for themselves, the other the Aequi, then all the neighbouring states could be subjugated while Rome itself remained in profound tranquillity. The next day the Fabii took their arms and assembled at the appointed place.
The consul, wearing his paludamentum,paludamentum —An ample and graceful cloak, the characteristic dress of the commander-in-chief. When a Roman magistrate quitted the City to take charge of an army or a province he put off the toga —the civilian dress —and assumed the paludamentum. went out into the vestibule and saw the whole of his house drawn up in order of march.

When quiet had been restored they moved their camp further away.
Appius Claudius was sent against the Volscians, the Aequi were left for Quinctius to deal with. Appius displayed the same savage temper in the field that he had shown at home, only it was more unrestrained because he was not now fettered by the tribunes.
He hated the commons with a more intense hatred than his father had felt, for they had got the better of him and had carried their Law though he had been elected consul as being the one man who could thwart the tribunitian power —a
