The senate decreed thanksgivings for T. Quinctius and M. Porcius, and next year's consuls were elected under L. Valerius. Additionally, the senate rejected a bid by Latin allies to obtain Roman citizenship through colonial enrollment.
eodem fere tempore et a T. Quinctio de rebus ad Lacedaemonem gestis et a M. Porcio consule ex Hispania litterae adlatae. utriusque nomine in dies ternos supplicatio ab senatu decreta est.
At almost the same time, letters were brought both from Titus Quinctius concerning his achievements at Lacedaemon and from the consul Marcus Porcius from Hispania. In the name of each of them, a thanksgiving for three days was decreed by the senate.
L. Valerius consul, cum post fusos circa Litanam silvam Boios1 quietam provinciam habuisset, comitiorum causa Romam rediit et creavit consules2 P. Cornelium Scipionem Africanum iterum et Ti. Sempronium Longum.
The consul Lucius Valerius, since he had held a quiet province after routing the Boii near the Litana forest, returned to Rome for the elections and created as consuls Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus for the second time and Tiberius Sempronius Longus.
horum patres primo anno secundi Punici belli consules fuerant. praetoria inde comitia habita; creati P. Cornelius Scipio et duo Cn. Cornelii, Merenda et Blasio, et Cn. Domitius Ahenobarbus et Sex. Digitius et T. Iuventius Thalna comitiis perfectis consul in provinciam rediit.
The fathers of these men had been consuls in the first year of the Second Punic War. Then the praetorian elections were held; there were elected Publius Cornelius Scipio, two Gnaeus Cornelii (Merenda and Blasio), Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, Sextus Digitius, and Titus Juventius Thalna. The elections being completed, the consul returned to his province.
Novum ius eo anno a Ferentinatibus temptatum, ut Latini, qui in coloniam Romanam nomina dedissent, cives Romani essent.3 Puteolos Salernumque et Buxentum adscripti coloni, qui nomina dederant, et cum ob id se pro civibus Romanis ferrent,4 senatus iudicavit non esse eos civis Romanos.
In that year, a new right was attempted by the people of Ferentinum, that Latins who had given their names for a Roman colony should be Roman citizens. The colonists who had given their names were registered for Puteoli, Salernum, and Buxentum, and when on this account they behaved as Roman citizens, the senate decided that they were not Roman citizens.
- 34.42.2post fusos ... Boios
The preposition post combined with a noun and a perfect passive participle in agreement (similar to the ab urbe condita construction), meaning 'after the routing of the Boii.'
- 34.42.3creavit consules
In Roman elections, the presiding magistrate (here the consul) formally 'created' or proclaimed the newly elected magistrates upon the completion of the comitia.
- 34.42.5ut ... essent
A noun clause (appositional ut-clause) explaining the specific content of the preceding Novum ius (a new right).
- 34.42.6se pro civibus Romanis ferrent
The verb ferre with the reflexive pronoun se and the preposition pro means 'to bear or conduct oneself as,' hence 'to pass themselves off as Roman citizens' or 'assert themselves to be Roman citizens.'
