••Aius Sextius the Proconsull, after he had conquered the nation of the Salyes, built the Colonie Aquae Sextiae, so called of the plenteous abundance of waters, by reason of springs both hote and cold, and also of his owne name. C. Comi••ius the Proconsull fought fortunately against the * 1.1 Allo••roges, neere the town:* 1.2 Vindalium. The cause why hee levied warre against them was, for that they had received and releeved by all meanes they could, Teutomalius the king of the * 1.3 Salvij when he fl••d unio them, and had wasted also the territories of the * 1.4 Heduans, who were the allies of the people of Rome. C. Gracchus, after he had borne his Tribuneship with much sedition, and kept the Aventine hill with a multitude of the Commons in armes, was by L. Opimius the Consull (who by vertue of an act of Senate had put the people in arme.) disseized of his hold and slaine; and together with him Fulvius Fl••ccus a Consular man, his associate and companion in this furious outrage. Q. Fabius Maximus the Consull, and nephew of Pa••lus, woon a field of the Allobryges, and Bituttus king of the Arverni. Of B••tuitus his armie were slain a hundred and twentie thousand. And when himselfe in person was gone to Rome to satisfie the Senate, he was committed toward in Alba, for that it seemed daungerous and hurtfull to the peace, for to send him backe againe into Fraunce. Also there passed a decree, that Con∣gentiatus his sonne should be apprehended and sent to Rome. The Allobroges submitted and were re∣ceived. L. Opimius being accused before the bodie of the people by Q. Decius a Tribune of the Commons, for imprisoning certaine citizens uncondemned, was acquit.
