| | sauvage noble: Auspicio |
 | | To Laudator’s quotations, some others freshest on my mind, after on-and-off head-against-the-wall-beatings: two inscriptions with Saturnian stylistic features but of debatable poetic-metricality, the tabulae triumphales of L. Mummius (stone extant) and M. Aemilius Regillus (quoted in a fragment of Livy): |
 | | For ending a great war, for subduing kings, as a way to establish peace, this battle [was granted to] L. Aemilius, the son of M. Aemilius, when he took the field. |
 | | Under his auspices, command, good fortune, and leadership near Ephesus, Samos, and Chios, while Antiochus himself watched them, the entire army, cavalry, and elephants, the fleet of King Antiochus though previously undefeated was routed, shattered, and put to flight, and on the same day forty-two warships with all their crews were captured. |
