In Italy a war arose between the Romans and the people of Veii for the following reasons.1 In this campaign the Romans voted for the first time to give annual pay to the soldiers for their support. They also reduced by siege the city of the Volsci which was called at that time Anxor2 but now has the name Tarracine.

1 There is probably a lacuna here. The "reasons" are given in Livy 4.58.

2 Anxur.
