Summary of Book XLIII

SEVERAL praetors were condemned for having administered their provinces with greed and cruelty.¹ Publius Licinius Crassus the proconsul stormed and cruelly plundered numerous cities in Greece; because of this the prisoners who had been sold at auction by him were afterward restored by decree of the senate.² Likewise many disorderly acts were committed against allies by the commanders of Roman fleets.³ The book includes successes obtained by King Perseus in Thrace, and his conquest of the Dardanians and of Illyricum, the king of which was Gentius.⁴ A revolt in Spain, which was organized by Olonicus, collapsed when he had been killed.⁵ Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was chosen chief of the Senate by the censors.⁶

[p. 87]

1 Cf. ii.

2 Licinius seems to have committed these acts in his consulship, cf. iv. 5; an account of his campaign seems to have been lost after ch. iii, cf. n. 7, p. 13.

3 Cf. iv. 5-13, vii. 8-viii. 9.

4 The account is lost, cf. n. 7, p. 13, except for the reference in xix. 4; the implication that Gentius was attacked is wrong, cf. xix. 13-xx. 3, xxiii. 8.

5 Cf. n. 7, p. 14, and iv. 1-4.

6 Cf. xv. 6.
