Consul edit

In the Social War Caesar held general command in the southern area, and there, after reverses near Aesernia and in southern Campania, he routed the Samnites at Acerrae (a). In Rome he carried his law to give citizenship to all Latins and Italians who had remained loyal (b), and to permit commanders to grant it de consili sententia (c). Rutilius, who held command in the northern theatre, refused to heed the advice of Marius to wait and train his recruits, and on June 11 was routed and killed in the Tolenus valley (d).
