ut during the third watch; three daylight hours had been added to their night march, and the battle had followed at once upon the labour of the journey, with no time given for repose. Accordingly, only at the outset of the fight did they retain some energy of mind and body, and at first they had thrown the Romans into confusion; later the battle became gradually more even. At this crisis the propraetor vowed games to JupiterThe performance of this vow is recorded at XXXVI. xxxvi. 1-2 (191 B.C.). if he should rout and slaughter the enemy. At length the Romans pressed on with greater vigour and the Lusitani gave way and finally fled; and while the victors pursued the fleeing foe, about twelve thousand of the enemy were killed, five hundred forty were taken prisoners, almost all cavalry, and one hundred thirty-four standards were captured. From the Roman army seventy-three were lost. The battle was fought not far from the city of Ilipa;This city is probably identic

as an untamable and anti-social people. When the contest had continued for many days, it was finally decided that peace should be neither granted nor refused; two choices were placed before them; either they should entrust themselves to the free discretion of the senate, or they should pay one thousand talents and consider the same peoples as friends and enemies.The latter would technically make them socii, though in a relation of dependency; this was one of the conditions imposed in 189 B.C. (XXXVIII. viii. 10). When they tried to elicit a definite statement as to the extent to which the senate would exercise itsB.C. 190 discretionIn XXXVI. xxii. 8 ff. the Aetolians discovered that Roman and Greek interpretations of diplomatic phraseology differed, and wanted to know what liberum arbitrium could mean. The acceptance of the first proposal in its extreme form might amount to a complete surrender. over them, no positive reply was given. So without any settlement they were or

It was now the end of the year, and canvassing at the consular election was more spirited than ever before.Probably for this reason we have an unusually detailed account of the campaign and we get a clear impression of the arguments employed. The candidates were many and influential, patricians and plebeians,The Licinian-Sextian legislation of 367 B.C. provided that one consul must be a plebeian and both might be. It was customary to elect one from each order.

He said that he was campaigning for a real brother, not a cousin, for his lieutenant and a sharer in the conduct of theB.C. 193 war; he on land, his brother on the sea, had conducted the operations. By such arguments he brought it to pass that his brother was preferred to the candidate whom his brother, Africanus,

, for in the first place the consul's camp was assailed and with difficulty defended, and a little later, when the Roman column was being led through a narrow glade, the very exit was blocked by an army of the Ligures. Since the way there was not open,B.C. 193 the consul began to move to the rear and retrace his steps. In the rear too the exit of the pass was closed by part of the enemy, and visions of the Caudine disasterA Roman army had been entrapped in the pass of Caudium in 321 B.C. and had been captured and sent under the yoke. not only flitted through their minds but also appeared before their eyes. He had about eight hundred Numidian cavalry among the auxiliaries.

But neither the Boii nor the Spaniards, with whom war was carried on that year, were so hostile and so dangerous to the Romans as the people of the Aetolians.Livy here turns to the Roman campaigns in the east, and for his annalistic sources he substitutes Polybius. A settlement in Greece had been effected by Flamininus after the defeat of Philip in 197 B.C., but the Aetolians had been from the first dissatisfied with the arrangements (cf. XXXIV. xxiii. 5 ff., etc.), and grasped every opportunity to unsettle the minds of their neighbours. Their activity and its consequences are described in the following chapters. After the evacuation of Greece by the armies they had at first been in hopes that Antiochus would come to occupy masterless EuropeLivy here employs a legal phrase (in vacuam possessionem intrare), used to express the act of taking possession of property which had no real or apparent owner (dominus).
