The people, with the sanction of the senate, resolved on war with the Vestinians.

The conduct of that war fell by lot to Brutus, the war in Samnium to Camillus.

Armies were marched into both countries, and by carefully watching the frontiers the enemy were prevented from effecting a junction. The consul who had the heavier task, L. Furius, was overtaken by a serious illness and was obliged to resign his command.
