In central Italy both coasts were wholly in the Roman power, and the Abruzzi almost entirely; Apulia as far as Venusia, and Campania as far as Nola, were in the hands of the Romans; and by the occupation of the Hirpinian territory the communication was broken off between the only two regions still persevering in open resistance, the Samnite and the Lucano-Bruttian.
Sulla decided whether more from patriotism or more from indifference, will never be ascertained for the latter alternative; handed over the corps left behind in Samnium to the trustworthy and experienced soldier, Quintus Metellus Pius, who was invested in Sulla's stead with the proconsular commandership-in-chief over Lower Italy; gave the conduct of the siege of Nola to the propraetor Appius Claudius; and in the beginning of 667 embarked with his legions for the Hellenic East.
"It's my house; I'll go and come in it when I please." "I'm a prisoner in it, not a guest. I'll force you out of the room if I must. This disgraceful behavior must end, and end this minute. Are you going?" "If you were out of the way, he'd love me," said Nola from the door, spiteful, resentful, speaking slowly, as if pressing each word into Frances' brain and heart; "if you were out of the way."
That was all there was to be told, it seemed, as far as Macdonald was concerned. He had the hole in the wall at which he had worked as he talked to his liking now, and was squinting through it like a telescope. "Nola wasn't afraid to come with you," she said, positively.

Scipio, who since his appointment to the office of consul had not looked at the Carthaginian enemy in Italy, had dared, he said, to go and attack Carthage, while he, after slaying a hundred thousand fighting men at Trasimenus and Cannae, had suffered his strength to wear away around Casilinum, Cumae, and Nola.
Banjo's indignation could not have been more pointed if he had been a lord of many herds himself. "There comes them blessed girls!" reported Mrs. Chadron from her station near the window. Banjo crossed over to see, his fiddle held to his bosom like an infant. Nola and Frances were nearing the gate. "That colonel girl she's a up-setter, ain't she?" Banjo admired.
X. At first Hannibal's soldiers, elated with their victory, roamed with careless confidence out of their camp and plundered the country; where Marcellus fell upon them, and by a series of defeats considerably weakened them. Next, he went to Naples and Nola.
Once she raised her eyes to the praefect and encountered his gaze strangely contemptuous and wrathful fixed upon her own, and anon she shuddered when a pitiable moan from Nola echoed from end to end along the marble walls around. And the crowd of idlers began slowly to disperse.
It was Caius Nepos who was here that he might betray those of his accomplices who had swerved from their allegiance to himself, and behind him well hidden by the draperies of the couch cowered Hun Rhavas, the dusky slave of the treasury, he who yesterday had appeared before the tribunal of the praefect of Rome for conspiracy to defraud the State in connection with the sale of the slave-girl Nola.
