Gaius Plautius led his troops to victories in Priverno and Volsci, while Lucius Aemilius travelled to Samnium where he received the region's ambassadors who demanded peace.
The Roman army was at once recalled, after receiving a year's pay and rations for three months, which the consul had stipulated should be the price of a truce, to last until the envoys should return.
According to Livy, Aemilius was encouraged by his colleagues to resign before the end of his term of office because of the impending Latin War.
Accordingly, while Decianus proceeded against Privernum, which was continuing to resist the Romans, Lucius Aemilius began to levy a large army in order to oppose the Gauls.
The capture of this town must have been regarded as a very glorious achievement since Mamercinus received the surname of Privernas.
