Quid illa quoque iuventute Romana gratius, quae Nautio et Minucio consulibus ultro nomina sua militari sacramento obtulit, ut Tusculanis, quorum fines Aequi occupaverant, praesidium ferrent, quia paucis ante mensibus constantissime et fortissime imperium populi Romani defenderant? ergo, quod auditu novum est, ne patriae grata voluntas cessasse videretur, exercitus se ipse conscripsit.
What too could be a better example of gratitude than the manhood of Rome, who in the Consulship of Nautius and Minucius voluntarily put their names forward for the military oath in order to give aid to the people of Tusculum, whose borders had been occupied by the Aequi, because a few months previously the former had defended the empire of the Roman people most steadfastly and valiantly? So, something never heard of before, the army enrolled itself, lest their countrys grateful will might seem to be lagging.
