There was a nine day festival, because in Tuscany it had rained stones. On the orders of the haruspices the city was lustrated. The ashes of the victims were scattered in the sea, and for nine days in accordance with the magistrates a procession of supplication was led around all the temples and districts. The spears of Mars in the Regia moved of their own accord. It rained blood around the river Anio. A swarm of bees settled in the forum Boarium in the small sanctuary. In Gaul in the camp a light gleamed at night. A free-born boy at Aricia was arrested by flames and was not consumed. The temple of Jupiter which was closed was struck by lightning. Because he had first demonstrated its expiation the haruspex Aemilius Potensis received a reward, and for the others who concealed it, it portended death for them and their children. The pirates were annihilated in Cilicia by the Romans. The Teutones were slaughtered by Marius. |
