The Veliternians, who had been Roman citizens from old times, were in consequence of their numerous revolts severely dealt with; their walls were thrown down, their senate deported and ordered to live on the other side of the Tiber[*](As rebels, their lives were forfeited, but the sentence was commuted into one of perpetual banishment amongst an alien nationality.);

if any of them were caught on this side of the river, he was to be fined 1000 ases, and the man who caught him was not to release him from confinement till the money was paid.
