Quia Volscī, quī in Latiō habitābant, arma contrā populum Rōmānum parābant, Rōmānī Camillum dictātōrem creāvērunt. Rōmānī cōpiās in trēs partēs dīvīsērunt; ūna pars contrā Volscōs properāvit. Inde Rōmānī castra Volscōrum prope Lānuvium oppugnāvērunt. Volscī vallum arboribus multīs mūnīvērunt, sed Rōmānī arborēs, quae erant in vāllō, incendērunt et Volscōs fugāvērunt.
Volscī vallum arboribus multīs [ablative] mūnīvērunt │ The Volsci fortified the walls with [= by means of] many trees. This is known as the ablative of means or instrument:

____________________
Because the Volsci, who lived in
Latium, were preparing arms against the Roman people, the Romans made Camillus
dictator. The Romans divided the troops into three parts; one part rushed
against the Volscians. Then the Romans attacked the camp of the Volsci near Lanuvium.
The Volsci fortified the rampart with many trees, but the Romans set fire to
the trees that were in the wall, and they put the Volsci to flight / chased the
Volsci away.
