that nobody was left at Rome to play
during the sacrifices. This incident
shocked the religious sentiment of the
senate. and the senators sent messen
gers to invite the inhabitants OF Thur
to make every effort in order that the
players should be restored to the Ro-
mans. The Tiburtines, having prom

On day of festival under pretext

players individually to his house, and
wine, of which people of that profess
