§5.22.1postero die libera corpora dictator sub corona vendidit.
On the following day, the dictator sold the free persons under the crown.
ea sola pecunia in publicum redigitur, haud sine ira plebis; et quod rettulere secum praedae, nec duci, §5.22.2qui ad senatum malignitatis auctores quaerendo, rem arbitrii sui reiecisset, nec senatui, sed Liciniae familiae, ex qua filius ad senatum rettulisset, pater tam popularis sententiae auctor fuisset, acceptum referebant.
That money alone was paid into the public treasury, not without the anger of the plebeians; and for the plunder they had carried away with them, they gave no credit to the commander, who, by seeking to find the authors of the stinginess in the senate, had referred back a matter of his own decision, nor to the senate, but to the Licinian family, from which the son had brought the matter before the senate and the father had been the author of so popular a proposal.
§5.22.3cum iam humanae opes egestae a Veis essent, amoliri tum deum dona ipsosque deos, sed colentium magis quam rapientium modo, coepere.
When the wealth of humans had now been carried away from Veii, they then began to remove the gifts of the gods and the gods themselves, but more in the manner of worshippers than of plunderers.
§5.22.4namque delecti ex omni exercitu iuvenes pure lautis corporibus, candida veste, quibus deportanda Romam regina Iuno adsignata erat, venerabundi templum iniere primo religiose admoventes manus, quod id signum more Etrusco nisi certae gentis sacerdos adtrectare non esset solitus.
For young men chosen from the entire army, with bodies washed clean and in white raiment, to whom the task of transporting Queen Juno to Rome had been assigned, entered the temple with reverence, at first laying hands upon her with religious awe, because according to Etruscan custom, no priest except one of a certain family was accustomed to touch that image.
§5.22.5dein cum quidam seu spiritu divino tactus sen iuvenali ioco “visne Romam ire, Iuno?” dixisset, adnuisse ceteri deam conclamaverunt.
Then, when one of them, whether touched by a divine spirit or in youthful jest, said, "Do you wish to go to Rome, Juno?", the others cried out that the goddess had nodded assent.
§5.22.6inde fabulae adiectum est vocem quoque dicentis velle auditam; motam certe sede sua parvi molimenti adminiculis sequentis modo accepimus levem ac facilem tralatu fuisse integramque in Aventinum, §5.22.7aeternam sedem suam, quo vota Romani dictatoris vocaverant, perlatam, ubi templum ei postea idem, qui voverat, Camillus dedicavit.
From this, the story was added that the voice of her saying she wished to do so was also heard; at all events, we have received the account that, being moved from her seat with the help of little effort, she was light and easy to transport, as if she were following, and was carried undamaged to the Aventine, her eternal seat, where the vows of the Roman dictator had called her, where the same Camillus who had vowed it afterwards dedicated a temple to her.
hic Veiorum occasus fuit, §5.22.8urbis opulentissimae Etrusci nominis, magnitudinem suam vel ultima clade indicantis, quod decem aestates hiemesque continuas circumsessa, cum plus aliquanto cladium intulisset quam accepisset, postremo iam fato quoque urgente operibus tamen, non vi expugnata est.
This was the fall of Veii, a most wealthy city of the Etruscan name, proving its greatness even in its final ruin, because, having been besieged for ten continuous summers and winters, though it had inflicted considerably more losses than it received, at last, with fate now also pressing hard, it was nevertheless taken by siege-works and not by force.
