Reate terrae motu aedes sacrae in oppido agrisque commotae, saxa, quibus forum stratum erat, discussa, pontes interrupti, ripae labentis fluminis in aquam provolutae, fremitus inferni exauditi et post paucos dies, quae concussa erant, corruerunt. saxum vivum cum provolveretur, in praecipiti rupe immobile stetit. a Sertorio in Hispania exercitus Romani caesi. adversum Maedos varie dimicatum. At Reate sacred shrines in the town and in the country were shaken by an earth tremor, the stones laid down in the forum were shattered, bridges were broken apart, the banks of the river which glides past the city fell into the water, rumbles were heard from underground and after a few days, those places which had been shaken, collapsed. As though alive a rock, as it was rolling along, halted motionless on a precipitous rock. In Spain the army of the Romans was slaughtered by Sertorius. Against the Maedi the battles were indecisive.
