41. Q. Servilio Caepione. Atilio Serrano coss. AUC 648/106 BC

At Amiternum when a boy was born of a slave-girl, he said ‘hello’. In the territory of Perusino and in some places at Rome it rained milk. At Atellae among many places struck by lightning four fingers of a man were sliced off as though with a sword. Silver coinage flowed away after a flash of lightning. In the territory of Trebulanum a woman married to a Roman citizen was struck by a thunderbolt and not killed. A celestial groan was heard and javelins seemed to fall from the sky. It rained blood. At Rome a torch was seen flying through the heavens for a long time. In the temple of the Lares a flame pierced through from the akroterion to the top of a column harmlessly. Because of the consul Caepio the jury courts were shared between the senators and the equites. The rest was at peace.
