In response to these events, the senate assigned Fabius to fight the Aequians, and Cornelius to put down rebellious Antium.
After this Cornelius resolved to take the city quickly and, with the use of scaling ladders and battering rams, thenceforth took Antium by storm.
Upon entering the city, Cornelius took much loot and riches to deposit in the treasury and had the ringleaders of the rebellion scourged and beheaded.
[2] There is another tradition, which is imparted by Livy, which states that there was no Antiate rebellion and that both consuls conducted a joint campaign against the Aequians at Tusculum.
[3][4] In 449 BC, in the midst of the second year of the second set of decemviri, which included his son or brother Marcus and his former colleague Fabius, the decemvirs summoned the senate to discuss whether they should raise a levy to defend against the Sabines and Aequians, who had just raided Roman territory.
