Of the LXXIIII. booke.

CNeus Pompeius discomfited the Picents in battaile and held them besieged: for which victorie the embrodered purple robes, with other ornaments and badges of the magistrates were taken up againe and put on. C. Marius fought against the Marsians with doubtfull event. The liber∣tines then and never before, began to serve in the warres. Aurelius Plotius the lieutenant, in a battaile overcame the Vmbrians: likewise L. Porcius the Pretor vanquished the Marsians, when as both these nations had rebelled. Nicomedes was placed againe in the kingdome of Bithynia, and Ariobarzanes of Cappadocia. Cu. Pompeius the Consull overthrew the Marsians in a pight field. When the cittie was deeply engaged and plunged in debt, A. Sempronius Asellus the Pretour, because he gave sentence re∣spectively in the favour of the debtours, was slaine in the market place by their creditours the usurers. Moreover this booke relateth the inrodes & invasions of the Thracians into Macedonie, together with their wasting of those parts.
