Summary

The fate of the Hernicans was upon the whole decided in the same way as that of the Latins had been thirty years before. The three towns which had not revolted, retained their laws, and mutual connubium: without doubt the commercium too: but scarcely the right of holding diets. Anagnia and the other Hernicans became municipia without the suffragium and were governed by prefects, who exercised jurisdiction among them, and whom the Roman pretor appointed annually: for their ordinary magistrates who remained nominally, in order that the worship of the gods might not be disturbed, were exclusively confined to the performance of the priestly functions of their office. They were deprived of the connubium with the other Hernicans and undoubtedly of the commercium also, and this too with the same intentions as the Latins had been. Frusino lost according to Diodorus as early as 441 (447), according to Livy as a punishment for an attempt to excite the nation to revolt in 444 (450), a third part of its territory: which land, as Diodorus states, was sold. Rome had now got rid of the obligations incumbent upon it by the treaty, though these perhaps latterly had no longer consisted in giving up a third part of the spoil, but in the Roman treasury giving pay to the contingent of the Hernicans, and only assigning a part of the spoil to them: which was considered so important a gain, that an equestrian statue was erected to C. Marcius in front of the temple of Castor.
