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. ^milius Paulus^ 
and C. Attilius Kegulus 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.) — LIBUENIA AND ILLTRICTJM. 
The nation of the Liburni adjoins tbe river Arsia^, and 
^ The Uceni, according to Hardouin, occupied Le Bourg d'Oysans in 
the modern Grraisivaudan ; the Catnriges, the modem Chorges according 
to Ansart ; the Brigiani, probably Brian9on, and the Nemaloni, as Hai'- 
douin thinks, the place called Miolans. 
2 They probably dwelt in the YiHe de Seyne, in Embrun ; the Esubiani 
near the river Hubaye, in the Yallee de Barcelone in Savoy ; the Teamini 
in Senez, the Triulatti at the village of AUoz, the Ecdini near the river 
Tinea, and the Yergunni in the vicinity of the district of Yergons. 
3 TheEgnituri probably dwelt near the modern town of Gmllaumes, the 
OrateUi at the place now called Le Pnget de Theniers, and the Yelauni 
near the modern Bueil. ^ Or subjects of Cottius, previously mentioned. 
^ A mistake for L. JEmiUus Papus. He and C. Hegulus were Consuls 
in B.C. 225. They successfully opposed the Cisalpine Gauls, 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 shall 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. 
7 From the river now called the Arsa to that called the Kerka.
