TIze Capture of V eii .--By this time the Games and the Latin Festival had been celebrated afresh, and the water drawn. off from the Alban Lake on the fields, and now the fated doom was closing over Veii. Accordingly the commander destined by the Fates fox the destruction of that city and the salvation of his country -M。Furius Camillus--was‘ nominated Dictator.

His first measure was， to execute military justice upon those who had fled during the panic from the camp, and he made the soldiers realise that it was not the enemy who was most to be feared.He then appointed a day for the enrolment of troops, and in the interim went to Veii to encourage the soldiers, after which he returned to又orne to raise a fresh army. ‘Nof a. man tried to escape enlistment. Even foreign troops 一工atins and Hernicans---carne to offer assistance for the war. TheDictator formally thanked them in. the senate, and as all the preparations for war were now sufficiently advanced, he vowed, in pursuance of a senatorial decree, that on the capture of veii he would celebrate the Great Games and restore and- dedicate the temple of matuta the.A.iotner,, ,wnicn naa peen ors邵natty aeaicatea oy Servius }Tullius: lie left the City with his army any i d a general feeling of anxious expectation rather than, of hopeful confidence on the part ox tae citizens, and his nrsz engagement was with the Faliscans anal Capenates in the territory of Nepete.

By far the greatest and most difficult of these was a mine which was commenced, and designed to lead into the enemies' citadel.
