1. In the beginning of the following year the¹ consuls and praetors drew lots for their provinces. For the consuls there was no province to be decreed except the Ligurians. [2] The civil jurisdiction fell to Marcus Ogulnius Gallus, that between citizens and aliens to Marcus Valerius, Nearer Spain to Quintus Fulvius Flaccus, Farther Spain to Publius Manlius, Sicily to Lucius Caecilius Denter, Sardima to Gaius Terentius Istra. [3] The consuls were directed to conduct the levies. Quintus Fabius had written from the Ligurian country that the Apuani were meditating rebellion and that there was danger that they would invade the territory of Pisa. [4] As to the Spains also, they knew that the nearer province was in arms and that there was war with the Celtiberians; in the farther province, because the praetor had long been sick, they knew that military discipline had grown slack from easy living and idleness. [5] For these reasons it was determined to enlist new armies, four legions for service against the Ligurians, each to consist of fifty-two hundred infantry and three hundred cavalry, and, in addition thereto, fifteen [p. 5]thousand infantry and eight hundred cavalry of the² allies of the Latin confederacy. These were to be the two consular armies. [6] In addition, they were ordered to enlist seven thousand infantry and four hundred cavalry of the allies of the Latin confederacy and to send them to Marcus Marcellus in Gaul, his imperium having been prolonged after his consulship. [7] They were also directed to enroll troops which were to be conducted to the two Spains, four thousand infantry and two hundred cavalry of Roman citizens and of the allies seven thousand infantry and three hundred cavalry. [8] Also the imperium of Quintus Fabius Labeo among the Ligurians, along with the army which he had, was extended for a year.
