23. To Cneius Cornelius a triumph was unanimously decreed: and the inhabitants of Placentia and Cremona added to the applause bestowed on [2??] the consul, by returning him thanks, and mentioning, to his honour, that they had been delivered by him from a siege; and that very many of them, when in the hands of the enemy, had been rescued from captivity. [3] Quintus Minucius just tried how the proposal of his claim would be received, and finding the whole senate averse from it, declared, that by the authority of his office of consul, and pursuant to the example of many illustrious men, he would triumph on the Alban mount. [4] Caius Cornelius, being yet in office, triumphed over the Insubrian and Caenomanian Gauls. He produced a great number of military standards, and carried in the procession abundance of Gallic spoils in captured chariots. [5] Many Gauls of distinction were led before his chariot, and along with them, some writers say, Hamilcar, the Carthaginian general. [6] But what, more than all, attracted the eyes of the public, was a crowd of Cremonian and Placentian [p. 1464]colonists, with caps of liberty on their heads, following his chariot. [7] He carried in his triumph two hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred asses,¹ and of silver denarii, stamped with a chariot, seventy-nine thousand.² He distributed to each of his soldiers seventy asses,³ to a horseman and a centurion double that sum. [8] Quintus Minucius, consul, triumphed on the Alban mount, over the Ligurian and Boian Gauls. Although this triumph was less respectable, in regard to the place and the fame of his exploits, and because all knew the expense was not issued from the treasury; yet, in regard of the number of standards, chariots, and spoils, it was nearly equal to the other. The amount of the money also was nearly equal. [9] Two hundred and fifty-four thousand asses⁴ were conveyed to the treasury, and of silver denarii, stamped with a chariot, fifty-three thousand two hundred.⁵ He likewise gave to the soldiers, horsemen, and centurions, severally, the same sums that his colleague had given.
