Auruncum inde bellum ab repentina populatione coeptum, metuque, ne id factum populi unius, consilium omnis nominis Latini esset, dictator velut adversus armatum iam Latium L. Furius creatus magistrum equitum Cn. Manlium Capitolinum dixit;
Then a war with the Aurunci began from a sudden raid; and from the fear lest this might be the act not of a single people, but a plan of the entire Latin name, Lucius Furius was appointed dictator, as if against a Latium already in arms, and he named Gnaeus Manlius Capitolinus master of the horse.
§7.28.3et cum, quod per magnos tumultus fieri solitum erat, iustitio indicto dilectus sine vacationibus habitus esset, legiones, quantum maturari potuit, in Auruncos ductae.
And when, as was accustomed to be done in great tumults, a cessation of public business was proclaimed and a levy held without exemptions, the legions were led against the Aurunci as quickly as possible.
ibi praedonum magis quam hostium animi inventi; prima itaque acie debellatum est.
There, the spirits of robbers rather than of enemies were found; and so the war was finished in the first battle.
§7.28.4dictator tamen, quia et ultro bellum intulerant et sine detractatione se certamini offerebant, deorum quoque opes adhibendas ratus inter ipsam dimicationem aedem Iunoni Monetae vovit; cuius damnatus voti cum victor Romam revertisset, dictatura se abdicavit.
Nevertheless, because they had initiated the war of their own accord and offered themselves to the contest without hesitation, the dictator, thinking that the help of the gods should also be employed, vowed a temple to Juno Moneta in the midst of the battle; and having become bound by his vow, when he returned to Rome as victor, he resigned his dictatorship.
§7.28.5senatus duumviros ad eam aedem pro amplitudine populi Romani faciendam creari iussit; locus in arce destinatus, quae area aedium M. Manli Capitolini fuerat.
The senate ordered two commissioners to be appointed to build this temple in a manner suitable to the grandeur of the Roman people; its site was designated on the citadel, where the area of the house of Marcus Manlius Capitolinus had been.
§7.28.6consules dictatoris exercitu ad bellum Volscum usi Soram ex hostibus, incautos adorti, ceperunt.
The consuls, using the dictator's army for the Volscian war, took Sora from the enemy, attacking them when they were off their guard.
anno post, quam vota erat, aedes Monetae dedicatur C. Marcio Rutilo tertium, T. Manlio Torquato iterum consulibus.
In the year after it had been vowed, the temple of Moneta was dedicated, during the consulship of Gaius Marcius Rutilus for the third time and Titus Manlius Torquatus for the second.
§7.28.7prodigium extemplo dedicationem secutum, simile vetusto montis Albani prodigio; namque et lapidibus pluit et nox interdiu visa intendi; librisque inspectis cum plena religione civitas esset, senatui placuit dictatorem feriarum constituendarum causa dici.
A prodigy immediately followed the dedication, similar to the ancient prodigy of the Alban Mount; for it rained stones, and night seemed to fall during the day; and when the books had been consulted and the state was filled with religious dread, it pleased the senate that a dictator should be appointed for the purpose of appointing festivals.
§7.28.8dictus P. Valerius Publicola; magister equitur ei Q. Fabius Ambustus datus est.
Publius Valerius Publicola was appointed, and Quintus Fabius Ambustus was given to him as master of the horse.
non tribus tantum supplicatum ire placuit, sed finitimos etiam populos, ordoque iis, quo quisque die supplicarent, statutus.
It was decided that not only the tribes should go to offer supplications, but also the neighboring peoples, and an order was established for them, on which day each should offer supplication.
iudicia eo anno populi tristia in faeneratores facta, §7.28.9quibus ab aedilibus dicta dies esset, traduntur.
In that year, severe judgments of the people were passed upon usurers, against whom, as is recorded, a day of trial had been appointed by the aediles.
et res haud ulla insigni ad memoriam causa ad interregnum rediit; §7.28.10eo interregno, ut id actum videri posset, ambo patricii consules creati sunt M. Valerius Corvus tertium, A. Cornelius Cossus.
And the state, for no cause worthy of memory, reverted to an interregnum; during this interregnum, as if it might seem that this had been the purpose, both consuls were elected from the patricians: Marcus Valerius Corvus for the third time, and Aulus Cornelius Cossus.
