Section: 4B

At the very outset, when he proclaimed a day for his legions to assemble, he entered the sacred enclosure{2} without taking the auspices. When the augurs were consulted on this matter, they declared that the day had been wrongfully set. The consul set out for Gaul, and had a fixed camp near Campi Macri{3} close to Mounts Sicimina and Papinus. Later he spent the winter in the same region with the allies of the Latin Name; the Roman legions had remained at Rome, because the day for the assembly of the army was wrongfully appointed.
