451 B.C.When Antidotus was archon in Athens, the
Romans elected as consuls Lucius Postumius and Marcus Horatius. During this year Ducetius, who
held the leadership of the Siceli, seized the city of Aetna, having treacherously slain its leader, and then he moved with an army into
the territory of the Acragantini and laid siege to Motyum, which was held by a garrison of
Acragantini; and when the Acragantini and the Syracusans came to the aid of the city, he joined
battle with them, was successful, and drove them both out of their camps. But since at the time winter was setting in, they separated and returned
to their homes; and the Syracusans found their general Bolcon, who was responsible for the
defeat and was thought to have had secret dealings with Ducetius, guilty of treason and put him
to death. With the beginning of summer they appointed a new general, to whom they assigned a
strong army with orders to subdue Ducetius. This general,
450 B.C.When EuthydemusEuthynus I.A. 4.1.22a. was
archon at Athens, the Romans elected as consuls
Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus and Marcus Fabius Vibulanus. In this year the Athenians, who had
been at war with the Persians on behalf of the Egyptians and had lost all their ships at the
island which is known as Prosopitis,Cp. Book
11.77. after a short time resolved to make war again upon the Persians on behalf of the
Greeks in Asia Minor. And fitting out a fleet of two
hundred triremes, they chose Cimon, the son of Miltiades, to be general and commanded him to
sail to Cyprus to make war on the Persians. And Cimon, taking the fleet which had been furnished with excellent
crews and abundant supplies, sailed to Cyprus. At that
time the generals of the Persian armaments were Artabazus and Megabyzus. Artabazus held the
supreme commandProbably only of the fleet. and was
tarrying in Cyprus with three hundred triremes, and

and Spurius Verginius Tricostus. In this year Cimon, the general of the Athenians, being master
of the sea, subdued the cities of Cyprus. And since a

448 B.C.When Philiscus was archon in Athens, the
Romans elected as consuls Titus Romilius Vaticanus and Gaius Veturius Cichorius; and the
Eleians celebrated the Eighty-third Olympiad, that in which Crison of Himera won the "stadion."
In this year the Megarians revolted from the Athenians, and
dispatching ambassadors to the Lacedaemonians they concluded an alliance with them. Irritated
at this the Athenians sent soldiers into the territory of the Megarians, plundering their
properties and seizing much booty. And when the Megarians issued from their city to defend
their territory, a battle ensued in which the Athenians were victorious and chased them back
within their walls.
447 B.C.When Timarchides was archon in Athens, the Romans elected as consuls Spurius Tarpeius and
Aulus Asterius Fontinius.This is probably a corruption of
Fontinalis. In this year the Lacedaemonians invaded Attica and ravaged a large part of the countryside, and after laying siege to some
of the Athenian fortresses they withdrew to the Peloponnesus; and Tolmides, the Athenian general, seized Chaeroneia. And when the Boeotians gathered their forces and caught Tolmides' troops
in an ambush, a violent battle took place at Coroneia, in the course of which Tolmides fell
fighting and of the remaining Athenians some were massacred and others were taken alive. The
result of a disaster of such magnitude was that the Athenians were compelled to allow all the
cities throughout Boeotia to live under laws of their
own making,The Athenians had established democracies in
most of the cities of Boeotia and the oligarchs had
consequently withdrawn fr
446 B.C.When Callimachus was archon in Athens, the Romans elected as consuls Sextus Quinctius . . .
Trigeminus. In this year, since the Athenians had been weakened in Greece because of their defeat in Boeotia at Coroneia, many cities revolted from them. Since the inhabitants of
Euboea were taking the lead in the revolution,
Pericles, who had been chosen general, made a campaign against Euboea with a strong force, and taking the city of Hestiaea by storm he removed
the inhabievolted from them. Since the inhabitants of
Euboea were taking the lead in the revolution,
Pericles, who had been chosen general, made a campaign against Euboea with a strong force, and taking the city of Hestiaea by storm he removed
the inhabitants from their native city; and the other cities he terrified and forced back into
obedience to the Athenians.A truceBetween Athens and Sparta. was made for thirty years, Callias and Chares
negotiating and confirming the peace.
445 B.C.When Lysimachides was archon in
Athens, the Romans elected as consuls Titus
Menenius and Publius Sestius Capitolinus. In this year the Sybarites who were fleeing from the
danger threatening them in the civil strife made their home on the Trais River. Here they
remained for a time, but later they were driven out by the Brettii and destroyed. And in Greece the Athenians,
regaining control of Euboea and driving the Hestiaeans
from their city, dispatched, under Pericles as commander, a colony of their own citizens to it
and sending forth a thousand colonists they portioned out both the city and countryside in
allotments.
444 B.C.When Praxiteles was archon in Athens, the Eighty-fourth Olympiad was celebrated, that in which Crison of Himera
won the "stadion," and in Rome the following ten
menThe famous Decemvirate. were elected to draft
laws: Publius Clodius Regillanus, Titus Minucius, Spurius Veturius, Gaius Julius, Gaius
Sulpicius, Publius Sestius, Romulus (Romilius), Spurius Postumius Calvinius.The sources do not agree on the names. Here Publius Clodius
should be Appius Claudius; and Diodorus also omits the names of A. Manlius Vulso and P.
Curiatius.
These men drew up the laws.The Laws of the Twelve Tables, the first Roman laws to be put in writing. The
common Roman tradition was that two of the laws were passed under the second Decemvirate; but
Diodorus (chap. 26.1) states that they were added under the consuls Horatius and Valerius, and
this seems more likely (see Beloch, Römische Geschichte, p. 245). The
correct dates of the Decemvirates
443 B.C.When
Lysanias was archon in Athens, the Romans again
chose ten men as lawmakers: Appius Clodius, Marcus Cornelius, Lucius Minucius, Gaius Sergius,
Quintus Publius, Manius Rabuleius, and Spurius Veturius.These are only seven names, and the last, Spurius Veturius, is not found in other lists;
Clodius should be Claudius.
These men, however, were not able to complete the codification
of the laws. OneAppius Claudius (Livy
3 44). of them had conceived a passion for a maiden who was penniless but of
good family, and at first he tried to seduce the girlVerginia. The following story ranks among the most famous of Roman tradition. The classic
account is in Livy 3.44 ff. by means of money; and when she
would have nothing to do with him, he sent an agent to her home with orders to lead her into
slavery. The agent, claiming that she was his own slave,
brought her, serving in that capacity, before the magistrate, in whose court
