Chapter XI
THE PLEBEIAN CONSULATE. B.C. 367. All the old enemies of Rome attacked her again when she was weak and rising out of her ruins, but Camillus had wisely persuaded the Romans to add the people of Veii, Capena, and Falerii to the number of their citizens, making four more tribes; and this addition to their numbers helped them beat off their foes. But this enlarged the number of the plebeians, and enabled them to make their claims more heard.
