The newly inaugurated consuls consulted the senate on national and military affairs, resulting in decisions to continue the siege of Capua, extend the commands of the previous year's generals, and allocate legions and fleets.
Cn. Fulvius Centumalus P. Sulpicius Galba consules cum idibus Martiis magistratum inissent, senatu in Capitolium vocato de re publica, de administratione belli, de provinciis exercitibusque patres consuluerunt.
When the consuls Gnaeus Fulvius Centumalus and Publius Sulpicius Galba had entered upon their office on the Ides of March, the senate having been summoned to the Capitol, they consulted the fathers on the commonwealth, the conduct of the war, and the provinces and armies.
Q. Fulvio Ap. Claudio prioris anni consulibus, prorogatum imperium est atque exercitus, quos habebant, decreti adiectumque, ne a Capua, quam obsidebant abscederent prius quam expugnassent.
For Quintus Fulvius and Appius Claudius, the consuls of the previous year, their command was prorogued, and the armies which they had were decreed to them; and it was added that they should not depart from Capua, which they were besieging, until they had taken it by storm.
ea tum cura maxime intentos habebat Romanos, non ab ira tantum, quae in nullam umquam civitatem iustior fuit, quam quod1 urbs tam nobilis ac potens, sicut defectione sua traxerat aliquot populos, ita recepta inclinatura rursus animos videbatur2 ad veteris imperii respectum.
This concern at that time kept the Romans extremely intent, not so much from anger, which was never more just against any state, as because so noble and powerful a city, just as by its defection it had drawn along several peoples, so if recovered, it seemed likely to turn their minds back again to respect for the ancient empire.
et praetoribus prioris anni, M. Iunio in Etruria, P. Sempronio in Gallia, cum binis legionibus, quas habuerant, prorogatum est imperium;
The command was also prorogued for the praetors of the previous year, Marcus Junius in Etruria and Publius Sempronius in Gaul, with the two legions each which they had held.
prorogatum et M. Marcello, ut pro consule in Sicilia reliqua belli perficeret eo exercitu, quem haberet;
It was also prorogued for Marcus Marcellus, so that as proconsul in Sicily he might finish the remainder of the war with that army which he had;
si supplemento opus esset, suppleret de legionibus, quibus P. Cornelius propraetor in Sicilia praeesset, dum ne quem militem legeret3 ex eo numero, quibus senatus missionem reditumque in patriam negasset ante belli finem.
if there should be need of reinforcement, he was to draw it from the legions which the propraetor Publius Cornelius commanded in Sicily, provided that he should not select any soldier from that number to whom the senate had denied discharge and return to their country before the end of the war.
C. Sulpicio, cui Sicilia evenerat, duae legiones, quas P. Cornelius habuisset, decretae et supplementum de exercitu Cn. Fulvii, qui priore anno in Apulia foede caesus fugatusque erat.
To Gaius Sulpicius, to whom Sicily had fallen, the two legions which Publius Cornelius had held were decreed, along with a reinforcement from the army of Gnaeus Fulvius, which in the previous year had been shamefully slaughtered and routed in Apulia.
huic generi militum senatus eundem quem Cannensibus finem statuerat militiae. additum etiam utrorumque ignominiae est, ne4 in oppidis hibernarent neve hiberna propius ullam urbem decem milibus passuum aedificarent.
For this class of soldiers, the senate had established the same limit of service as for the soldiers of Cannae. Added also to the disgrace of both was that they should not winter in towns, nor build winter quarters nearer than ten miles to any city.
L. Cornelio in Sardinia duae legiones datae, quibus Q. Mucius praefuerat; supplementum, si opus esset, consules scribere iussi.
To Lucius Cornelius in Sardinia two legions were given, which Quintus Mucius had commanded; the consuls were ordered to enroll reinforcements if there should be need.
T. Otacilio et M. Valerio Siciliae Graeciaeque ora cum legionibus classibusque, quibus praeerant, decretae; quinquaginta Graecia cum legione una, centum Sicilia cum duabus legionibus habebant naves.
To Titus Otacilius and Marcus Valerius, the coasts of Sicily and Greece were decreed, along with the legions and fleets which they commanded; Greece, with one legion, had fifty ships, and Sicily, with two legions, had one hundred.
tribus et viginti legionibus Romanis eo anno bellum terra marique est gestum.
By twenty-three Roman legions, the war was conducted on land and sea in that year.
- 26.1.3non ab ira tantum... quam quod
The structure non tantum... quam functions like non tam... quam ('not so much... as because...'), comparing the emotional cause of anger (ab ira) with the strategic reason introduced by quod.
- 26.1.4recepta inclinatura rursus animos videbatur
recepta is a perfect passive participle in the nominative feminine singular, agreeing with the subject urbs. inclinatura is a future active participle, forming a future infinitive with esse omitted, which serves as the nominative complement of the passive verb videbatur.
- 26.1.8dum ne quem militem legeret
The conjunctional phrase dum ne introduces a proviso or negative condition ('provided that... not') and takes the subjunctive (legeret). quem is an indefinite pronoun (aliquem losing its prefix ali- after ne) meaning 'any'.
- 26.1.10additum etiam utrorumque ignominiae est, ne...
The subject of the impersonal passive additum est ('it was added') is the clause introduced by ne... neve... ('that they should not... nor...'). utrorumque is the genitive of uterque ('both groups of soldiers'), modifying ignominiae ('to the disgrace', dative).
