Ab urbe condita

Two new tribes were formed, the Ufentine and the Falernian. As the power of Apulia was declining, the people of Teate[*](this form of the nameLivy probably found in the annalist whom he was consulting at the time. It is, however, in all probability the Teanum mentioned above which is found inscribed on coins as Teate.) came to the new consuls, C. Junius Bubulcus and Q. Aemilius Barbula, to negotiate for a treaty.

They gave a formal undertaking that throughout Apulia peace would be maintained towards Rome, and the confident assurances they gave led to a treaty being granted, not, however, as between two independent states; they were to acknowledge the suzerainty of Rome.
