[*](Growth of the Republic). —Camillus returned in triumphal procession to the City, after having been victorious in three simultaneous wars.

By far the greatest number of the prisoners who were led before his chariot belonged to the Etruscans. They were publicly sold, and so much was realized that after the matrons had been repaid for their gold[*](They had twice contributed toward the necessities of the commonwealth; the first time was to assist the government to discharge its responsibility under the vow of Camillus which he had made before the capture of Veii. The second occasion was when the ransom was beng raised to buy off the Gauls.), three golden bowls were made from what was left.

These were inscribed with the name of Camillus, and it is generally believed that previous to the fire in the Capitol[*](The Capitol was partially destroyed by fire in 83 B. C.) they were deposited in the chapel of Jupiter before the feet of Juno.

During the year, those of the inhabitants of Veii, Capenae, and Fidenae who had gone over to the Romans whilst these wars were going on, were admitted into full citizenship and received an allotment of land.
