As the year drew to a close and the threat of war with Antiochus increased, Rome assigned provinces and troops for the upcoming magistrates, while also conducting temple dedications, trials of usurers, and public works.
iam fere in exitu annus erat, et in dies magis et fama de bello Antiochi et cura patribus crescebat;
The year was already nearly at its close, and day by day both the rumor of the war with Antiochus and the anxiety of the senators were increasing;
itaque de provinciis designatorum magistratuum, quo intentiores essent omnes,1 agitari coeptum est.
therefore, so that all might be more alert, discussions began to be held concerning the provinces of the magistrates-elect.
decrevere, ut consulibus Italia et quo senatus censuisset — iam esse bellum adversus Antiochum regem omnes sciebant — provinciae essent.
They decreed that the provinces for the consuls should be Italy and wherever the senate should have decided — for everyone knew that there was already a war against King Antiochus.
cuius ea sors esset,2 quattuor milia peditum civium Romanorum et trecenti equites, sex milia socium Latini nominis cum quadringentis equitibus sunt decreta.
For him whose lot that should be, four thousand infantry of Roman citizens and three hundred cavalry, and six thousand infantry of the allies of the Latin name with four hundred cavalry were decreed.
eorum dilectum habere L. Quinctius consul iussus, ne quid moraretur, quo minus3 consul novus, quo senatus censuisset, extemplo proficisci posset.
The consul L. Quinctius was ordered to hold a levy of these, so that nothing might cause a delay to prevent the new consul from being able to set out immediately to wherever the senate should have decided.
item de provinciis praetorum decretum est, prima ut sors duae, urbanaque et inter civis ac peregrinos iurisdictio esset, secunda Bruttii, tertia classis, ut navigaret quo senatus censuisset, quarta Sicilia, quinta Sardinia, sexta Hispania ulterior.
Likewise, concerning the provinces of the praetors, it was decreed that the first lot should be the two jurisdictions, both the urban and that between citizens and foreigners, the second the Bruttii, the third the fleet, to sail wherever the senate should have decided, the fourth Sicily, the fifth Sardinia, the sixth Farther Spain.
imperatum praeterea L. Quinctio consuli est, ut duas legiones civium Romanorum novas conscriberet et socium ac Latini nominis viginti milia peditum et octingentos equites. eum exercitum praetori, cui Bruttii provincia evenisset, decreverunt.
In addition, the consul L. Quinctius was commanded to enlist two new legions of Roman citizens, and twenty thousand infantry and eight hundred cavalry of the allies and the Latin name. They decreed this army for the praetor to whom the province of the Bruttii should have fallen.
aedes duae Iovis eo anno in Capitolio dedicatae sunt; voverat L. Furius Purpurio praetor Gallico bello unam, alteram consul; dedicavit Q. Marcius Ralla duumvir. —
Two temples of Jupiter were dedicated on the Capitol in that year; L. Furius Purpurio had vowed one as praetor during the Gallic war, and the other as consul; Q. Marcius Ralla, the duumvir, dedicated them. —
iudicia in faeneratores eo anno multa severe sunt facta accusantibus privatos aedilibus curulibus M. Tuccio et P. Innio Bruto.
Many trials against usurers were conducted with severity in that year, with the curule aediles M. Tuccius and P. Innius Brutus prosecuting private individuals.
de multa damnatorum4 quadrigae inauratae in Capitolio positae, et in cella Iovis supra fastigium aediculae duodecim clupea inaurata, et iidem porticum extra portam Trigeminam inter lignarios fecerunt.
From the fines of those condemned, gilded four-horse chariots were placed on the Capitol, and in the cella of Jupiter twelve gilded shields were set up above the pediment of the shrine, and the same aediles built a portico outside the Porta Trigemina among the timber-merchants.
- 35.41.2quo intentiores essent omnes
The conjunction quo (equivalent to ut eo) is used to introduce a purpose clause containing a comparative adjective (intentiores) with the subjunctive essent.
- 35.41.4cuius ea sors esset
The relative pronoun in the genitive singular cuius refers to the consul who is to draw the lot, while ea sors ("that lot," referring to the province decided by the senate) serves as the subject of the clause.
- 35.41.5ne quid moraretur, quo minus
The conjunction quo minus ("lest... should prevent") introduces a clause of prevention or hindrance dependent on the verb moraretur (acting in the sense of causing delay or hindrance). quid can be understood as an adverbial accusative ("in any respect") or as a nominative subject ("lest anything").
- 35.41.10de multa damnatorum
multa is the ablative singular of the first-declension noun multa, -ae, f. ("fine, penalty"), governed by the preposition de indicating the source of funds, not the feminine singular of the adjective multus.
