40. ad ea consul neque se Ligures provinciam sortitum esse ait, neque cum Liguribus bellum gessisse, neque triumphum de iis postulare; [2] Q. Minucium confidere brevi subactis iis meritum1 triumphum postulaturum atque impetraturum esse; [3] se de Gallis Bois postulare triumphum, quos acie vicerit, castris exuerit, quorum gentem biduo post pugnam totam acceperit in deditionem, a quibus obsides abduxerit, pacis futurae pignus. [4] verum enimvero illud multo maius esse, quod tantum [p. 270] numerum Gallorum occiderit in acie, quot cum2 3 milibus certe Boiorum nemo ante se imperator pugnaverit. [5] plus partem dimidiam ex quinquaginta milibus hominum caesam, multa milia capta; senes puerosque Bois superesse. [6] itaque id quemquam mirari posse, cur victor exercitus, cum hostem in provincia neminem reliquisset, Romam venerit ad celebrandum consulis triumphum? [7] quorum militum si et in alia provincia opera uti senatus velit, utro tandem modo promptiores ad aliud periculum novumque laborem ituros credat, si persoluta eis sine detractatione prioris periculi laborisque merces sit, an si spem pro re ferentes4 dimittant, iam semel in prima spe deceptos? [8] nam quod ad se attineat, sibi gloriae in omnem vitam illo die satis quaesitum esse, quo se virum optimum iudicatum ad accipiendam matrem Idaeam misisset senatus. [9] hoc titulo, etsi nec consulatus nec5 triumphus addatur, satis honestam honoratamque P. Scipionis Nasicae imaginem fore. [10] universus senatus non ipse modo ad decernendum triumphum consensit, sed etiam tribunum plebis auctoritate sua compulit ad remittendam intercessionem. [11] P. Cornelius consul triumphavit de Bois. in eo triumpho Gallicis carpentis arma signaque et spolia omnis generis travexit et vasa aenea Gallica [p. 272] et cum captivis nobilibus equorum quoque captorum6 gregem traduxit. [12] aureos torques transtulit mille quadringentos septuaginta unum, ad hoc auri pondo ducenta quadraginta septem, argenti infecti factique in Gallicis vasis, non infabre suo more factis, duo milia trecenta quadraginta pondo, bigatorum nummorum ducenta triginta quattuor. [13] militibus qui currum secuti sunt centenos vicenos quinos asses divisit, duplex centurioni, triplex equiti. [14] postero die contione advocata de rebus ab se gestis et de iniuria tribuni bello alieno se illigantis, ut suae victoriae fructu se fraudaret, cum disseruisset, milites exauctoratos dimisit.
