De civitate Dei (413 - 427) Augustine of Hippo |
| Quotation |
picentes, marsi et peligni, gentes non exterae, sed italicae, post diuturnam et deuotissimam sub
romano iugo seruitutem in libertatem caput erigere temptauerunt, iam multis nationibus romano imperio subiugatis deletaque carthagine; in quo bello italico romanis saepissime uictis ubi et duo consules perierunt et alii nobilissimi senatores, non diuturno tamen tempore tractum
est hoc malum; nam quintus ei annus finem dedit. |
| Translation |
The Picentes, Marsi and Peligni were not foreign races, but Italians, who, after long and most devoted service under the Roman yoke, attempted to raise their heads in liberty, even though many nations had by now been subjected to the Roman sway, and Carthage had been destroyed. In this Italian war, the Romans were very often defeated, and two consuls and other most noble senators perished; yet this evil was not prolonged for a great duration of time, for the fifth year saw an end to it.
