§41.27.1censores eo anno creati Q. Fulvius Flaccus et A. Postumius Albinus legerunt senatum; princeps lectus M. Aemilius Lepidus pontufex maximus.
The censors elected in that year, Quintus Fulvius Flaccus and Aulus Postumius Albinus, revised the roll of the senate; Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, the pontifex maximus, was chosen as leader of the senate.
§41.27.2de senatu novem eiecerunt; insignes notae fuerunt M. Corneli Maluginensis, qui biennio ante praetor in Hispania fuerat, et L. Corneli Scipionis praetoris, cuius tum inter civis et peregrinos iurisdictio erat, et L. Fulvi, qui frater germanus et, ut Valerius Antias tradit, consors etiam censoris erat.
They expelled nine from the senate; the most notable marks of censure were those of Marcus Cornelius Maluginensis, who had been praetor in Spain two years before, Lucius Cornelius Scipio, the praetor whose jurisdiction at that time was between citizens and foreigners, and Lucius Fulvius, who was the full brother and, as Valerius Antias reports, also the co-heir of the censor.
§41.27.3consules votis in Capitolio nuncupatis in provincias profecti sunt.
The consuls, having pronounced their vows on the Capitol, set out for their provinces.
ex iis M. Aemilio senatus negotium dedit, ut Patavinorum in Venetia seditionem conprimeret, quos certamine factionum ad intestinum bellum exarsisse et ipsorum legati attulerant.
Of these, the senate gave Marcus Aemilius the task of suppressing the sedition of the Patavians in Venetia, whom their own envoys had reported to have flared up into internal war through factional strife.
§41.27.4legati, qui in Aetoliam ad similis motus conprimendos ierant, renuntiarunt coerceri rabiem gentis non posse.
The envoys who had gone to Aetolia to suppress similar disturbances reported that the madness of that nation could not be restrained.
Patavinis saluti fuit adventus consulis; neque aliud, quod ageret in provincia, cum habuisset, Romam redit.
The arrival of the consul brought salvation to the Patavians; and since he had nothing else to do in the province, he returned to Rome.
§41.27.5censores vias sternendas silice in urbe, glarea extra urbem substruendas marginandasque primi omnium locaverunt, pontesque multis locis faciendos; et scaenam aedilibus praetoribusque praebendam; §41.27.6et carceres in circo, et ova ad notas curriculis numerandis dam, et metas trans et caveas ferreas, per quas intromitterentur feriis in monte Albano consulibus, et clivom Capitolinum silice sternendum curaverunt, §41.27.7et porticum ab aede Saturni in Capitolium ad senaculum, ac super id curiam.
The censors were the first of all to contract for the paving of streets with basalt in the city, and for laying gravel foundations and adding margins to roads outside the city, and for building bridges in many places; and for providing a stage for the aediles and praetors; and they also took care that starting-gates should be made in the Circus, and eggs as markers for counting the laps, and turning-posts across, and iron cages through which wild beasts might be let in, and lodgings for the consuls during the Latin festival on the Alban Mount, and that the Capitoline Clivus should be paved with basalt, and a portico from the temple of Saturn to the senaculum on the Capitol, and a senate-house above it.
§41.27.8et extra portam Trigeminam emporium lapide straverunt stipitibusque saepserunt, et porticum Aemiliam reficiendam curarunt, gradibusque ascensum ab Tiberi in emporium fecerunt.

§41.27.9et intra eandem portam in Aventinum porticum silice straverunt, et † eo publico ab aede Veneris fecerunt. §41.27.10iidem Calatiae et Auximi muros faciendos locaverunt; venditisque ibi publicis locis pecuniam, quae redacta erat, tabernis utrique foro circumdandis consumpserunt.
And inside the same gate they paved a portico leading to the Aventine with basalt, and † made a path from the temple of Venus from that public ground. † The same censors contracted for the building of walls at Calatia and Auximum; and having sold public lands there, they spent the money which had been realized in surrounding both forums with shops.
§41.27.11et alter ex iis Fulvius Flaccus — nam Postumius nihil nisi senatus Romani populive iussu se locaturum edixit — ipsorum pecunia Iovis aedem Pisauri et Fundis et Potentiae etiam aquam adducendam, et Pisauri viam silice sternendam, §41.27.12et Sinuessae magalia addenda * aviariae, in his et cloacas et murum circumducendum et forum porticibus tabernisque claudendum et Ianos tris faciendos.
And the other of them, Fulvius Flaccus — for Postumius declared that he would contract for nothing except by order of the Roman senate or people — with their own money contracted for the building of a temple of Jupiter at Pesaro, at Fundi, and at Potentia, also for the bringing in of water, and for paving the road at Pesaro with basalt, and at Sinuessa for the adding of huts * to the aviaries, and in these places for sewers and the drawing of a wall around, and for enclosing the forum with porticoes and shops, and for building three Januses.
§41.27.13haec ab uno censore opera locata cum magna gratia colonorum.
These works, contracted for by only one censor, met with great gratitude from the colonists.
moribus quoque regendis diligens et severa censura fuit.
The censorship was also diligent and severe in regulating morals.
multis equi adempti.
Many had their horses taken away.
