Torquatus met at Trisanum, a place between Sinuessa and Minturnae. Before
a place was selected for a camp, the baggage on both sides being piled
up in a heap, they fought and terminated the war; for so impaired was
their strength, that all the Latins surrendered themselves to the
consul, who was leading his victorious army to lay waste their lands,
and the Campanians followed the example of this surrender. Latium and
Capua were fined some land. The Latin with the addition of the
Privernian land; and the Falernian land, which had belonged to the
people of Campania, as far as the river Vulturnus, is all distributed to
the commons of Rome. In the Latin land two acres a man were assigned, so
that they should receive an additional three-fourths of an acre from the
Privernian land; in the Falernian land three acres were assigned, one

Of the Latins the Laurentians were exempted from punishment, as also the
horsemen of the Campanians, because they had not revolted. An order was
issued that the treaty should be renewed with the Laurentians; and it is
renewed every year since, on the tenth day after the Latin festival. The
rights of citizenship were granted to the Campanian horsemen; and that
it might serve as a memorial, they hung up a brazen tablet in the temple
of Castor at Rome. The Campanian state was also enjoined to pay them a
yearly stipend of four hundred and fifty denarii each; their number
amounted to one thousand six hundred.

distributed according to the deserts of each, Titus Manlius returned to
Rome: on his approach it appears that the aged only went forth to meet
him; and that the young men, both then, and all his life after, detested
and cursed him. The Antians made incursions on the territories of Ostia,
Ardea, and Solonia. The consul Manlius, because he was unable by reason
of his health to conduct that war, nominated as dictator Lucius Papirius
Crassus, who then happened to be praetor; by him Lucius Papirius Cursor
was appointed master of the horse. Nothing worthy of mention was
performed against the Antians by the dictator, although he had kept a
standing camp for several months in the Antian territory. To a year
