Strana 96 - Besides this, when any of them made sacrifice to the gods, they always sent a dole to the common hall; and, likewise, when any of them had been...
Strana 92 - First, he stopped the currency of the gold and silver coin, and ordered that they should make use of iron money only : then to a great quantity and weight of this he assigned but a very small value ; so that to lay up ten minfe, a whole room was required, and to remove it, nothing less than a yoke of oxen.

Soon after this the Gauls marched to Rome, and sacked the whole city, except the Capitol ; as we have related at large in the life of Camillus.
