History of Rome, Vol III

BOOK XXXV
39/102

Quintus Minucius was continued in command, with the forces which he then had in Liguria; as a supplement to which, four thousand Roman foot and five hundred horse were ordered to be enlisted, and five thousand foot and two hundred and fifty horse to be demanded from the allies.

The duty of departing from Italy, whithersoever the senate should order, fell to Cneius Domitius; Gaul, and the holding the elections, to Lucius Quinctius.
The praetors then cast lots for their provinces: to Marcus Fulvius Centumalus fell the city jurisdiction; to Lucius Scribonius Libo, the foreign; Lucius Valerius Tappus obtained Sicily; Quintus Salonius Sarra, Sardinia; Marcus Baebius Tamphilus, Hither Spain; and Marcus Atilius Serranus, Farther Spain.

But the provinces of the two last were changed, first by a decree of the senate, which was afterwards confirmed by an order of the people.

The fleet and Macedonia were assigned to Atilius; Bruttium to Baebius.

Flaminius and Fulvius were continued in command in both the Hither and Farther Spain.
