The years in which Roman armies fought east of the Adriatic were few, but campaigns in Gaul, Liguria, and Spain continued the annual pattern of warfare. E. touches often on Roman settlement of Gallic territory, but tends to emphasise the military side of such acts as Flaminius's bill of 232 and the founding of the colonies at Cremona and Placentia at the expense of a theme that takes one closer to the heart of Roman Imperialism: the confiscated Gallic territory provided land on which impoverished Romans could be settled.
