Both consuls subdue the Ligurians from different directions. The military tribune Marcus Fulvius, who illegally disbanded a legion, is punished and banished to Spain, while his soldiers are ordered back under penalties.
consules ambo in Ligures exercitus induxerunt diversis partibus.
Both consuls led their armies into the territory of the Ligurians from different directions.
Postumius prima et tertia legione Ballistam Letumque montes obsedit, et premendo praesidiis angustos saltus eorum commeatus interclusit, inopiaque omnium rerum eos perdomuit.
Postumius, with the first and third legions, besieged Mount Ballista and Mount Letus, and by pressing the narrow passes with garrisons, he cut off their supplies and subdued them through the lack of all provisions.
Fulvius secunda et quarta legione adortus a Pisis Apuanos Ligures, qui eorum circa Macram fluvium incolebant, in deditionem acceptos, ad septem milia hominum, in naves impositos1 praeter oram Etrusci maris Neapolim transmisit.
Fulvius, having attacked from Pisae with the second and fourth legions the Apuani Ligurians, who lived among them around the river Macra, received them into surrender to the number of about seven thousand men, placed them on board ships, and sent them past the coast of the Etruscan Sea to Neapolis.
inde in Samnium traducti, agerque iis inter populares datus est.
Thence they were transferred into Samnium, and land was given to them among their fellow countrymen.
montanorum Ligurum ab A. Postumio vineae caesae frumentaque deusta, donec cladibus omnibus belli coacti in deditionem venerunt armaque tradiderunt.
The vineyards of the mountain Ligurians were cut down and their crops burned by Aulus Postumius, until, forced by all the disasters of the war, they came into surrender and surrendered their arms.
navibus inde Postumius ad visendam oram Ingaunorum Intemeliorumque Ligurum processit.
Thence Postumius proceeded with ships to inspect the coast of the Ingauni and Intemelii Ligurians.
priusquam hi consules venirent ad exercitum, qui Pisas indictus erat, praeerat A. Postumius.
Before these consuls came to the army, which had been summoned to Pisae, Aulus Postumius was in command.
frater Q. Fulvii M. Fulvius Nobilior — secundae legionis tribunus militum is erat — mensibus suis dimisit legionem, iureiurando adactis centurionibus aes in aerarium ad quaestores esse delaturos.2
Marcus Fulvius Nobilior, the brother of Quintus Fulvius — he was a military tribune of the second legion — in his own months of command disbanded the legion, having bound the centurions by oath that they would deliver the money to the quaestors in the treasury.
hoc ubi Placentiam — nam eo forte erat profectus — Aulo nuntiatum est, cum equitibus expeditis secutus dimissos, quos eorum potuit adsequi,3 reduxit castigatos Pisas; de ceteris consulem certiorem fecit.
When this was announced to Aulus at Placentia — for he had happened to set out thither — he pursued the disbanded men with light-armed cavalry, and brought back to Pisae, after having punished them, those of them whom he was able to overtake; concerning the rest, he informed the consul.
eo referente senatus consultum factum est, ut M. Fulvius in Hispaniam relegaretur ultra novam Carthaginem; litteraeque ei datae sunt a consule ad P. Manlium in Hispaniam ulteriorem deferendae:
Upon his referral, a decree of the senate was passed that Marcus Fulvius should be banished into Spain beyond New Carthage; and letters were given to him by the consul to be carried to Publius Manlius in Farther Spain :
milites iussi ad signa redire. ignominiae causa uti semestre stipendium in eum annum esset ei legioni, decretum: qui miles ad exercitum non redisset, eum ipsum bonaque eius vendere consul iussus.
the soldiers were ordered to return to their standards. For the sake of disgrace, it was decreed that the pay for that legion for that year should be for six months; the consul was ordered to sell the soldier himself and his property, who had not returned to the army.
- 40.41.3in deditionem acceptos, ad septem milia hominum, in naves impositos
The participles acceptos and impositos (accusative plural masculine) agree in sense (synesis) with the individuals implied by the phrase ad septem milia hominum, rather than grammatically agreeing with the neuter plural noun milia.
- 40.41.8iureiurando adactis centurionibus aes in aerarium ad quaestores esse delaturos
iureiurando adactis centurionibus is an ablative absolute. The passive participle of adigo (to bind by oath) agrees with centurionibus. The content of the oath is expressed by the accusative and infinitive construction aes... esse delaturos, where the subject accusative se is omitted.
- 40.41.9quos eorum potuit adsequi
The pronoun eorum is a partitive genitive referring back to the preceding dimissos (the disbanded men), restricting the relative pronoun quos ("those of them whom...").
