“ [2] When the Senones who were in Etruria heard of this calamity, they joined with the Etruscans and marched against Rome.1 After various mishaps these Senones, having no homes to return to, and being in a state of frenzy over their misfortunes, fell upon Domitius [the other consul], by whom most of them were destroyed. The rest slew themselves in despair. Such was the punishment meted out to the Senones for their crime against the ambassadors.
