The Tarentines overcome: peace and freedom granted to them.

[271 BC.]

The Campanian legion, which had forcibly taken possession of Rhegium, besieged there; lay down their arms, and are punished with death. Some young men, who had ill-treated the ambassadors from the Apollonians to the senate of Rome, are delivered up to them. Peace granted to the Picentines.

Two colonies established; one at Ariminum in Picenum, another at Beneventum in Samnium. Silver coins now, for the first time, used by the Roman people.

[267 BC.]
