It frequently happened, that the elections could not be held on account of bad weather, though the days were fixed for them; and, therefore, as the magistrates of the former year retired from their offices on the day before the ides of March, and fresh ones were not appointed to succeed them, the state was without curule magistrates.

Lucius Manlius Torquatus, a pontiff, died this year.

Caius Sulpicius Galba was elected in his room.

The Roman games were thrice repeated by the curule aediles, Lucius Licinius Lucullus and Quintus Fulvius.

Some scribes and runners belonging to the aediles were found, on the testimony of an informer, to have privately conveyed money out of the treasury, and were condemned, not without disgrace to the aedile Lucullus.
