Liv. 10.32.1, and 39.1; Fast. Cap. ([- - - -S]p. n. Megellu[s II]; [- - - -Regu]lus); Act. Tr. (names entire); Chr. 354; Fast. Hyd.; Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; Degrassi 38f., 112, 426f. According to Livy's main source Regulus served first in Samnium and Apulia with ill success, which changed to victory when he vowed a temple to Jupiter Stator and was followed by another victory at Interamna, but was refused a triumph (10.32-33, and 35-36; Frontin. Str. 2.8.11; 4.1.29); he was then relieved by Postumius who captured Milionia and other towns, then in Etruria took Rusella and made Volsinii, Perusia and Arretium sue for peace, and celebrated an unauthorized triumph (Liv. 10.32-34, and 37.1-12; Zon. 8.1). Claudius attributed successes in Etruria to Regulus, while Fabius described operations by both Consuls in Apulia and Samnium, Etruria, and the vowing of a temple to Jupiter Stator (Liv. 10.37.13-16). According to Act. Tr., Regulus triumphed over Volsones and Samnites, and Postumius over Samnites and Etruscans; Degrassi 72f., 544. On Postumius, see Lübker no. 22. (Broughton MRR I)
