After his return to the City the consul C. Claudius made his report to the [2??] senate of his victories in Histria and Liguria, and at his request, a triumph was decreed to him. Whilst still in office he celebrated a double triumph over the two nations. [3] In the procession were carried 307,000 denarii and 85,702 "victoriati." To each legionary were given fifteen denarii, double the amount to the centurions, and treble to the cavalry. [4] The allied troops received only half as much, and by way of showing their anger, they followed the victor's chariot in silence. [5] Whilst the new consuls were each sacrificing an ox to Jupiter on the day of their entering upon office, the victim which Q. Petilius was sacrificing was defective; [6] there was no head to the liver visible. [7] He reported this to the senate, and they ordered him to go on sacrificing until the victim gave a favourable omen. The provinces were then discussed, and the senate decreed that Pisae and Liguria should be the consular provinces, and the one to whom the ballot [8??] gave Pisae was ordered to return and hold the elections when the time for them arrived. [9] They further decreed that the consuls should raise two new [10??] legions and 300 cavalry with each, and from the Latin allies 10,000 infantry and 600 cavalry. [11] Ti. Claudius retained his command till the new consul arrived in his province.
