Ave, everybody,
recently, I stumbled into two different versions about what happened at the end of Veio's siege. Since, in both books there are not footnotes about the sources regarding this particular matter, I need some help.
Version 1. The Etrurian city is sacked and razed, the veians still alive slaved. Full stop.
Version 2. Here too, the city is sacked but, badly needing more manpower for the Army, survivors of the ager veientanus are later granted with the roman citizenship and organized in four new tribes: Stellatina,Tromantina, Sabatina and Arniensis.
Which should be right and, where could I find some primary source?
Thanks!
