The Aetolians are trying to stir up trouble, not by themselves, but by helping Syria. Rome sent a consul and Titus as his lieutenant,to help the Greeks. The Syrians were defeated in a battle at Thermopylae, on the spot of a great battle between the Greeks and the Persians many years ago.
Titus helped them to renew their trust in Rome, and he made things right with the consul. The consul is not behaving, and he married a young girl. He is an old man.
Titus helped the gild to escape with her friends, and the consul wanted to kill all of her people. Titus stopped him, and in gratitude the people made songs in his praise,and dedicated buildings to him.
So happily ends this part of the story.
More later,
Bell
