The senate now began to feel apprehensive lest on the disbandment of the army there should be a recurrence of the secret conclaves and conspiracies. Although the Dictator had actually conducted the enrolment, the soldiers had sworn obedience to the consuls. Rezardinz them as still bound by their oath, the senate ordered the legions to be marched out of the City on the pretext that war had been recommenced by the .,Equi.
