Summary of Book XII

ROMAN envoys having been put to death by the Senonian Gauls, war was for that reason declared against the Gauls, and Lucius Caecilius the praetor and his legions were cut to pieces by them. The Tarentines plundered a Roman fleet, slew the duumvir who commanded it, and maltreated the envoys whom the senate had dispatched to them to complain of these wrongs. on this account war was declared against them. The Samnites revolted. several successful battles were fought with them and with the Lucanians and the Brittii1 and the Etruscans, under a number of generals. Pyrrhus, king of the Epirots, came to Italy to help the Tarentines. a Campanian legion, commanded by Decius Vibellius, being sent to protect the people of Regium,2 put the inhabitants to death and seized the city.
