		Having thus gained time, they sent delegates in great haste to Marcellus Claudius the praetor, who was with his army at Casilinum, to inform him of the critical position of Nola, how their territory was in Hannibal's hand, and the city would be in the possession of the Carthaginians unless it received succour.

		When winter was now growing milder, having brought his soldiers out of winter quarters, he returned to Casilinum where, although the attack had been halted, the continued siege had brought the inhabitants of the town and the garrison to the final stage of shortage(s).
		It was well known that some who could not endure the famine threw themselves down or were standing unarmed on the walls, exposing their naked bodies to the blows of the weapons.

	Second Oration Against Marcus Antonius by Cicero
		You did indeed consult me by letter about the colony of Capua (but I should have given you the same answer about Casilinum), whether you could legally lead a new colony to a place where there was a colony already.
		I said that a new colony could not be legally conducted to an existing colony, which had been established with a due observance of the auspices, as long as it remained in a flourishing state; but I wrote you word that new colonists might be enrolled among the old ones.
		But you, elated and insolent, disregarding all the respect due to the auspices, led a colony to Casilinum, whither one had been previously led a few years before; in order to erect your standard there, and to mark out the line of the new colony with a plough.
