XXV. The following year,^ about the summer
solstice,* in the month of August, Servius' Servilius
and Aulus Verginius succeeded to the consulship,
both being men of experience in warfare. To them
the Tyrrhenian war, though great and difficult,
seemed pure gold* in comparison with the conflict
inside the city walls. For since the land had gone
unsown the preceding winter because the enemy
hadfortified the adjacenthill* against them andhad
kept up incessant raids, and since not even the mer-
chants any longer imported the usual provisions from
outside, Rome suffered from a great scarcity ofcorn,
as the city was then crowded not only with its per-
manent population, but also with a multitude that
had flocked thither from the country. For of adult
