LI工工,War with Veil and the Sabines; The domestic conflicts came to an end;war began again with the Veientines, with whom the一Sabines had formed an armed leazue. The La七in and tiernican auxiliaries were summoned. and the consul厂。v aierius was sent with an army to Veii. He at once attacked the Sabine camp, which was situated in front of the walls of their allies, and created such confusion. that while small bodies of the defenders were making sorties in various directions to repel the .attack, the gate against which the assault had been, first made was forced, and once inside the rampart it became a massacre rather than a battle. The noise in the camp penetrated even to the city, and the Veientines flew to arms。in a state of as eareat f‘‘, .alarm as if Veii itself was, taken. Some went to the help of therN 7 ' T , , .7 ,r, , , Y, ^f Z}aoines, others attacked the Kornans, who were wholly occupied with their assault on the camp. For a few moments they were checked and thrown into confusion;e then, forming front in both=directions, they offered a steady resistance while the cavalry whom the consul had ordered to charge routed the Tuscans and put them to flight.

The Latins, in conjunction with the Hernici drove them out of their camp without either a Roman general or Roman troops. They recovered their own property and obtained immense booty in addition.

There was no kind of injury or insult that was not practised against the VoIscians;they could not, however, be driven to fight a regular battle.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
