Text
L. Licinius Crassus consul quosdam in citeriore Gallia nullo inlustri, neque certo duce, neque eo nomine, neque numero praeditos, uti digni essent, qui hostes populi Romani esse dicerentur, qui tamen excursionibus et latrociniis infestam provinciam redderent, consectatus est et confecit. Romam redit: triumphum ab senatu postulat.
Translation
Lucius Licinius Crassus when consul run down and destroyed some bands in Cisalpine Gaul. They had no distinguished or regular leader, nor were they so famous or numerous that they deserved to be called enemies of the Roman people, yet by their plundering raids they had made the province unsafe . Crassus returns to Rome and demands that the Senate grant him a triumph.
