FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote 2:  We know that in 380 B.C.  Praeneste had eight towns under her jurisdiction, and that they must have been relatively near by.  Livy VI, 29, 6:  octo praeterea oppida erant sub dicione Praenestinorum.  Festus, p. 550 (de Ponor):  T. Quintius Dictator cum per novem dies totidem urbes et decimam Praeneste cepisset, and the story of the golden crown offered to Jupiter as the result of this rapid campaign, and the statue which was carried away from Praeneste (Livy VI, 29, 8), all show that the domain of Praeneste was both of extent and of consequence.]
