THE A'eLAUNI, and THE SUETRI." 



The t^Yelve states of the Cottiani^ were not included in 

 the list, as they had shown no hostility, nor yet those whic-h 

 had been placed by the Pompeian law under the jurisdiction 

 of the miuiicipal towns. 



Such then is Italy, sacred to the gods, such are the na- 

 tions, such the cities of her peoples ; to which we may add, 

 that this is that same Italy, which, when L. ^milius Paulus^ 

 and C. Attilius Hegulus were Consuls, on hearing of the rising 

 in Gaul, unaided, and without any foreign assistance whatever, 

 without the help even of that portion which lies beyond the 

 Padus, armed 80,000 horse and 700,000 foot. In abun- 

 dance of metals of every kind, Italy yields to no land whatever; 

 but all search for them has been prohibited by an ancient 

 decree of the Senate, who gave orders thereby that Italy 

 shall be exempted® from such treatment. 



CHAP. 25. (21.) — LIBURNIA AND ILLTRICUM. 



The nation of the Liburni adjoins the river Arsia'', and 



^ The TJceni, according to Hardoiiin, occupied Le Bourg d'Oysans in 

 the modern Gx'aisivaudan ; the Caturiges, the modem Chorgcs according 

 to Ansart ; the Brigiani, probably Brian^on, and the Kemaloni, as Har- 

 doiiin thinks, the place called Miolans. 



2 They probably dwelt in the Ville de Seyne, in Embrun ; the Esubiimi 

 near the river Hubaye, inthe Yallee de Barcelone in Savoy ; the Veamini 

 in Senez, the Triulatti at the village of Alloz, the Ecchni near the river 

 Tinea, and the Vcrgunni in the vicinity of the district of Yergons. 



2 TheEguituri probably dwelt near the modera town of Guillaumes, the 

 Oratelli at the place now callc^d Le Puget de Theniers, and the Yelauni 

 near the modem BueU. ■* Or subjects of Cottius, previously mentioned. 



^ A mistake for L. ^mihus Papus. He and C. Regulus were Consuls 

 in B.C. 225. They successfully ojiposed the Cisalpine Grauls, who invaded 

 Italy ; but Regulus was slain in the engagement. 



^ It is difTicult to say what is the exact force of " parci" here ; whether 

 in fact it means that Italy shall be wholly exempted from such treatment, 

 as an indignity offered to her sod, or whether her niineials were to be 

 strictly kept in reserve as a last resource. Ajabson, in his Translation^ 

 seems to take the former view, Littre the latter. 



7 From the river now called the Arsa to that called the Kerka.
