slain both in the battle itself, and
afterwards in flight; the others in the camp, which was taken in the
same onset: more, however, were captured than slain.

25. Where when, on taking an account of the prisoners, several Tusculans
were recognised, being separated from the rest, they are brought to the
tribunes; and they confessed to those who interrogated them, that they
had taken up arms by the authority of the state. By the fear of which
war so near home Camillus being alarmed, says that he would immediately
carry the prisoners to Rome, that the senate might not be ignorant, that
the Tusculans had revolted from the alliance; meanwhile his colleague,
if he thought proper, should command the camp and army. One day had been
a lesson to him not to prefer his own counsels to better. However
neither himself, nor any person in the army, supposed that Camillus
would pass over his misconduct without some angry feelings, by which the
commonwealth had been brought into so perilous a situation; and both in
the army and at Rome, the uniform account of all was, that, as matters

himself. There was no war, however, with the Tusculans. By firm
adherence to peace they warded off the Roman violence, which they could
not have done by arms. When the Romans entered their territories, no
removals were made from the places adjoining to the road, the
cultivation of the lands was not interrupted: the gates of the city
lying open, they came forth in crowds clad in their gowns to meet the
generals; provision for the army was brought with alacrity from the city
and the lands. Camillus having pitched his camp before the gates,
wishing to know whether the same appearance of peace, which was
displayed in the country, prevailed also within the walls, entered the
city, wh
