Consuli are Publius Licinius Crassus Moutian and Lucius Valerius Flack. Censors are Quint Cecilius Metel Macedonic and Quint Pompey as for the first time in Roman history and both are plebes.
The Censors conducted a census and established 318 823 Roman citizens.
The Metel Censor removes the tribune Gaius Attinius Labeon Matzerion from the Senate, and to avenge Labeon he attacks Marcellus and tries to condemn him to death by throwing him off the Tarpei Rock, but his intentions are thwarted by the interference of another tribune.
Consul Crassus Moutian managed to win command of the war against the challenger Aristonic Pergamsky by conquering his rivals, Flack and even Publius Cornelius Scipio Emilian African. A mill that is also a pontifex maximus becomes the first to hold this position voluntarily leaving Italy.
