12. brevis consultatio senatus fuit; ad unum omnes iungendum foedus cum Lucanis resque [p. 400] repetendas ab Samnitibus censent. [2] benigne1 responsum Lucanis ictumque foedus; fetiales missi, qui Samnitem decedere agro sociorum ac deducere exercitum finibus Lucanis iuberent; quibus obviam missi ab Samnitibus, qui denuntiarent, si quod adissent in Samnio concilium, haud inviolatos abituros. [3] haec postquam audita sunt Romae, bellum Samnitibus et patres censuerunt et populus iussit.

consules inter se provincias partiti sunt: Scipioni Etruria, Fulvio Samnites obvenerunt, diversique ad suum quisque bellum proficiscuntur. [4] Scipioni segne bellum et simile prioris anni militiae exspectanti hostes ad Volaterras instructo agmine occurrerunt. [5] pugnatum maiore parte diei magna utrimque caede; nox incertis qua data victoria esset intervenit. lux insequens victorem victumque ostendit; nam Etrusci silentio noctis castra reliquerant.2 [6] Romanus egressus in aciem, ubi profectione hostium concessam victoriam videt, progressus ad castra vacuis cum plurima praeda—nam et stativa et trepide deserta fuerant—potitur. [7] inde in Faliscum agrum copiis reductis cum impedimenta Faleriis cum modico praesidio [p. 402] reliquisset, expedito agmine ad populandos3 hostium4 fines incedit. [8] omnia ferro ignique vastantur; praedae undique actae. nec solum modo vastum hosti relictum sed castellis etiam vicisque inlatus ignis: urbibus oppugnandis temperatum, in quas timor Etruscos compulerat. [9] Cn. Fulvi consulis clara pugna in Samnio ad Bovianum haudquaquam ambiguae victoriae fuit. Bovianum inde adgressus nec ita multo post Aufidenam vi cepit.
