After this Caius Claudius Nero and Marcus Livius a second time entered upon their consulate; and as they had already, while consuls elect, drawn lots for their provinces, they ordered the praetors to draw lots for theirs.

Caius Hostilius had the city jurisdiction, to which the foreign was added, in order that three praetors might go out to the provinces.

Aulus Hostilius had Sardinia, Caius Mamilius, Sicily, Lucius Porcius, Gaul.

The total amount of legions employed in the provinces was twenty-three, which were so distributed that the consuls might have two each; Spain, four; the three praetors in Sicily, Sardinia, and Gaul, two each; Caius Terentius, two in Etruria; Quintus Fulvius, two in Bruttium; Quintus Claudius two in the neighbourhood of Tarentum and the territory of Sallentum; Caius Hostilius Tubulus, one at Capua; and two were ordered to be enlisted for the city.

For the first four legions the people elected tribunes, the consuls sent those for the rest.
