54. P. Scipio ex provincia Gallia ad consules subrogandos venit. comitia consulum fuere, quibus creati sunt L. Cornelius Merula et Q. Minucius Thermus. [2] postero die creati sunt praetores L. Cornelius Scipio, M. Fulvius Nobilior, C. Scribonius, M. Valerius Messala, L. Porcius Licinus et C. Flaminius. [3] Megalesia ludos scaenicos A. Atilius Serranus, L. Scribonius Libo aediles curules primi fecerunt. [4] [p. 170] horum aedilium ludos Romanos primum senatus 1a populo secretus spectavit, praebuitque sermones, sicut omnis novitas solet, aliis tandem, quod multo ante debuerit, tributum existimantibus amplissimo ordini, [5] aliis demptum ex dignitate populi, quidquid maiestati patrum adiectum esset, interpretantibus et omnia discrimina talia, quibus ordines discernerentur, et concordiae et libertatis aequae minuendae esse. [6] ad quingentesimum quinquagesimum octavum annum in promiscuo spectatum esse; quid repente factum, cur immisceri sibi in cavea patres plebem nollent? [7] cur dives pauperem consessorem fastidiret? novam, superbam libidinem, ab nullius ante gentis senatu neque desideratam neque institutam. [8] [p. 171] postremo ipsum quoque Africanum, quod 2consul auctor eius rei fuisset, paenituisse ferunt. adeo nihil motum ex antiquo probabile est; veteribus, nisi quae usus evidenter arguit, stari malunt.
