Quo facto complures equites Romani senatoresque perterriti ex proelio se receperunt, ne a militibus, qui ex tanta victoria licentiam sibi assumpsissent immoderate peccandi impunitatis spe propter maximas res gestas, ipsi quoque interficerentur.
This behaviour caused grave alarm among quite a number of Roman knights and senators, who retired from the battle lest they themselves should also be massacred by the soldiers, who after so resounding a victory had apparently taken it for granted that they were free to perpetrate any excesses, on the assumption that they would go unpunished in view of their magnificent achievements.
