An owl was seen outside the city. A bull spoke. At Trebula Mutusca a statue in the temple, whose head had been covered, was found uncovered. At Nuceria an elm-tree overturned by wind straightened of its own accord and grew strong roots. In Lucania it rained milk, at Luna blood. At Ariminium a dog spoke. Celestial armies from the east and the west were seen fighting at †both times, and those from the west were being defeated. On the response of the haruspices the people bore a contribution to Ceres and Proserpina. Twenty seven singing maidens bore gifts. The moon with a star appeared for a long time between the third until the seventh hour. Regions were ransacked by runaways and deserters in Thurii. The Cimbri after crossing the Alps and after Spain had been devastated joined the Teutones. A wolf entered the city. Vultures on a tower were killed by a lightning bolt. At the third hour of the day the disappearance of the sun obscured the light. A swarm of bees settled in front of the temple of Salus. In the comitium it rained milk, in Picenum three suns were seen. In the territory of Vulsinii flames rose out of the earth and seemed to touch the sky. In Lucania two lambs were born with horses feet, another with the head of a monkey. At Tarquinium fivers of milk arose gushing out over the land. On the response of the haruspices, olivewood standards, two armed statues and a supplication. In Macedonia the Thracians were subdued.
