 Brutus in 83 BC actually succeeded in establishing a colony, but it was soon dissolved; and Cicero's speeches "De Lege Agrania" were directed against a similar attempt by Servilius Rullus in 63 BC.In the meantime the necessary organization of the inhabitants of this thickly populated district was in a measure supplied by grouping them round important shrines, especially that of Diana Tifatina, in connection with which a "pagus Dianae" existed, as we learn from many inscriptions; a "pagus Herculaneus" is also known.The town of Capua belonged to none of these organizations, and was entirely dependent on the "praefecti".
