Then the provinces which were in a state of war, Sardinia and Istria, were decreed to the consuls.\n For Sardinia, two legions were ordered to be enrolled, each to consist of five thousand two hundred infantry and three hundred cavalry, and twelve thousand infantry of the allies and the Latin name with six hundred cavalry, and ten quinqueremes, if he wished to bring them out of the dockyards.\n The same number of infantry and cavalry was decreed for Istria as for Sardinia.

Claudi cons.
The consuls were also ordered to send to Marcus Titinius in Spain one legion with three hundred cavalry, and five thousand allied infantry with two hundred and fifty cavalry.\n Before the consuls drew lots for their provinces, portents were reported:\n that a stone had fallen from the sky into the grove of Mars in the territory of Crustumerium; that a boy with a body consisting only of a trunk was born in the Roman territory, and a four-legged snake had been seen; and at Capua many buildings in the forum had been struck by lightning; and at Puteoli two ships had been burned by a stroke of lightning.\n While these portents were being reported, a wolf also, chased at Rome in the daytime, after entering by the Colline gate, escaped through the Esquiline gate amidst a great uproar of the pursuers.\n On account of these portents, the consuls sacrificed full-grown victims, and there was a supplication for one day at all the shrines.\n The sacrifices having been duly performed, they drew lots for their provinces; Istria fell to Claudius, Sardinia to Sempronius.\n Then Gaius Claudius, in accordance with a decree of the senate, proposed a law concerning the allies, and issued an edict that all allies of the Latin name, who themselves or whose ancestors had been registered among the allies of the Latin name in the censorship of Marcus Claudius and Titus Quinctius, or after that time, should return each to his own state before the first of November.\n The inquiry concerning those who had not returned in this manner was decreed to the praetor Lucius Mummius.\n To the law and the edict of the consul a decree of the senate was added, to the effect that when anyone was being manumitted and vindicated into freedom before any of those who were then or should thereafter be dictator, consul, interrex, censor, or praetor, the person manumitting him should take an oath that he did not manumit him for the purpose of changing his citizenship; and if anyone would not take this oath, they resolved that the slave ought not to be manumitted.\n These precautions were taken for the future, and they were ordered by the edict of the consul Gaius Claudius.
Claudio decreta est.
