Scipio by way punishment mulcted them of nearly half their territory in order that the Roman people might if they chose settle V755 G colonists on it. When on the point of departure to celebrate, as he- confidently expected, his triumph, he disbanded his arm', with orders to be in Rome by the day of triumph. The day following his arrival the senate met in the tempi、 of Bellona and after he had given a fall account of his campaigr he requested to be allowed to make a triumphal entry into tar City. One of the tribunes of the plebs, P. Sempronius Blaesus was of opinion that though the honour of a triumph ought ncto be refused altogether it ought to be delaved. The wars witf the Liffurians.he said。were alwavs closely connected witr those against the Gauls, for these nations being neighbour rendered each other mutual help. If after his decisive defea: of the Boii Scipio had either crossed the Ligurian frontiers wit一 his army or sent a part of his force to the assistance of Q。 Minucius, who had now been detained there three years by are indecisive war. the Ligurian resistance might have been completely broken. In order to swell his triumph he had now brou gt hh back soldiers who could have rendered invaluable service to commonwealth and could do so still if the senate would agree to make good what he in his haste to enjoy a triumph had left undone by delaying that triumph. He should be ordered to return with his legions to his province and see that the Ligurian were thoroughly subdued;unless they were brought under th· dominion of Rome the Boii would be in a constant state of unrest whether it be peace or war it must be with both of them together. When he has reduced the Boii to submission P. Cornelius will' enjoy his triumph a few months hence like many before him whc did not celebrate their triumph during their year of office.
