1. AT the commencement of the next year, the consuls and praetors determined the provinces by lot. For the consuls there was no province to be decreed, except Liguria. [2] The city jurisdiction fell to Marcus Ogulnius Gallus; that among foreigners, to Marcus Valerius; of the Spains, the Hither, to Marcus Fulvius Flaccus; the Farther, to Publius Manlius; Sicily, to Lucius Caecilius Denter; and Sardinia, to Caius Terentius Istra. [3] The consuls were ordered to hold levies, for [p. 1855]Quintus Fabius had written from Liguria, that the Apuani seemed inclined to a renewal of hostilities, and that it was to be feared that they would make an irruption into the district of Pisae. [4] From the Spains, also, they received intelligence that the Hither province was in arms; that the war still continued with the Celtiberians: that, in the Farther province, because the praetor had been for a long time indisposed, military discipline was relaxed by intemperance and inactivity. [5] For these reasons it was decreed that new armies should be raised; four legions for Liguria, that each might contain five thousand two hundred foot, and three hundred horse, and to these same were added, fifteen thousand foot and eight hundred horse of the Latin allies. [6] These were to complete the two consular armies. They were ordered, also, to enrol seven thousand foot and four hundred horse, of the allies and Latins, and to send them into Gaul to Marcus Marcellus, whose command was prolonged on the expiration of his consulship. [7] There were ordered to be levied, of Roman citizens, four thousand infantry and two hundred cavalry, and of the allies, seven thousand infantry with three hundred cavalry, which should be also led into both Spains. [8] And to Quintus Fabius Labeo, with the army which he had in Liguria, was the command prolonged for a year.
