THE MeDULLI, the TJcENi\ THE CaTUKIQES, THE BkI- 

 GTANI, THE SOQIONTII, THE BeODIONTII, THE NeMALONI, 

 THE EdENATES^ THE EsUBIANI, THE VeaMINI, THE GaL- 

 LIT^, THE TrIULATTI, THE EcDINI, THE VeROUNNI, THE 

 EgUITURI^ the NeMENTURI, THE OrATELLI, THE NeRUSI, 

 THE VeLAUNI, and THE SUETRI." 



The twelve states of the Cottiani'' were not included in 

 the list, as they had shown no hostility, nor yet those which 

 had been placed by the Pompeian law under the jurisdiction 

 of the municipal 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. -Smilius Paulus" 

 and C. Attilius Eegulus 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 Libumi adjoins the river Arsia^, and 



* The Uceni, according to Hardouin, occupied Le Bourg d'Oysans in 

 the modem Graisivaudan ; the Caturiges, the modem Chorges according 

 to Ansart ; the Brigiani, probably Brian9on, and the Nemaloni, as Har- 

 douin thinks, the place ctJled Miolans. 



^ They probably dwelt in the Ville de Seyne, in Embrun ; the Esubiani 

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

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

 Tinea, and the Vergunni in the vicinity of the district of Vergons. 



3 TheEguitiui probably dwelt near the modem town of Guillaiunes, the 

 Oratelli at the pkce now called Le Puget de Theniers, and the Velauni 

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



^ A mistake for L. jEmihus Papus. He and C. Eegulus were Consuls 

 in B.C. 225. They successfully opposed the Cisalpine Gavds, who invaded 

 Italy ; but Regulus was slain in the engagement. 



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

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

 as an indignity offered to her soil, or whether her minerals were to be 

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

 seems to take the former view, Littre the latter. 



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