§41.7.1triumphi deinde ex Hispania duo continui acti.
Then two successive triumphs from Spain were celebrated.
§41.7.2prior Sempronius Gracchus de Celtiberis sociisque eorum, postero die L. Postumius de Lusitanis aliisque eiusdem regionis Hispanis triumphavit.
First, Sempronius Gracchus triumphed over the Celtiberians and their allies, and on the following day Lucius Postumius triumphed over the Lusitanians and the other Spaniards of the same region.
quadraginta milia pondo argenti Gracchus transtulit, viginti milia Albinus.
Gracchus brought in forty thousand pounds of silver, and Albinus twenty thousand.
§41.7.3militibus denarios quinos vicenos, duplex centurioni, triplex equiti ambo diviserunt; sociis tantumdem quantum Romanis.
Both distributed twenty-five denarii to each soldier, double to a centurion, and triple to a horseman; to the allies as much as to the Romans.
§41.7.4per eosdem forte dies M. Iunius consul ex Histria comitiorum causa Romam venit.
About the same time, by chance, the consul Marcus Junius came from Istria to Rome for the purpose of holding the elections.
§41.7.5eum cum in senatu fatigassent interrogationibus tribuni plebis Papirius et Licinius de iis, quae in Histria essent acta, in contionem quoque produxerunt.
When the tribunes of the plebs, Papirius and Licinius, had exhausted him in the senate with questions about what had been done in Istria, they also brought him out into the public assembly.
§41.7.6ad quae cum consul se dies non plus undecim in ea provincia fuisse responderet, quae se absente acta essent, se quoque, ut illos, fama comperta habere, §41.7.7exsequebantur deinde quaerentes, quid ita non potius A. Manlius Romam venisset, ut rationem redderet populo Romano, cur ex Gallia provincia, quam sortitus esset, in Histriam transisset?
When the consul replied to these questions that he had not been in that province for more than eleven days, and that, as for what had been done in his absence, he too, like them, knew of it only by report, they then went on to ask why Aulus Manlius had not rather come to Rome to render an account to the Roman people of why he had crossed over from the province of Gaul, which had fallen to him by lot, into Istria.
§41.7.8quando id bellum senatus decrevisset, quando populus Romanus iussisset? at hercule privato quidem consilio bellum susceptum esse, sed gestum prudenter fortiterque.
"When had the senate decreed that war, or when had the Roman people ordered it? But, by Hercules, the war was indeed undertaken on private initiative, but was it conducted prudently and courageously?
§41.7.9immo, utrum susceptum sit nequius an inconsultius gestum, dici non posse.
Nay, it cannot be said whether it was undertaken more shamefully or conducted more recklessly.
stationes duas necopinantes ab Histris oppressas, castra Romana capta, quod peditum, quod equitum in castris fuerit caesum; ceteros inermes fusosque, ante omnes consulem ipsum, ad mare ac naves fugisse.
Two outposts, caught off guard, were overwhelmed by the Istrians, the Roman camp was captured, whatever of infantry and cavalry was in the camp was slaughtered, the rest fled unarmed and routed, and before all the consul himself fled to the sea and the ships.
§41.7.10privatum rationem redditurum earum rerum esse, quoniam consul noluisset.
He will have to render an account of these matters as a private citizen, since he refused to do so as consul."
