Hannibal , Hamilcaris filius , Carthaginiensis . Si verum est , quod nemo dubitat , ut populus Romanus omnes gentes virtute superarit , non est infitiandum Hannibalem tanto praestitisse ceteros imperatores prudentia , quanto populus Romanus antecedat fortitudine cunctas nationes . Nam quotienscumque cum eo congressus est in Italia , semper discessit superior . Quod nisi domi civium suorum invidia debilitatus esset , Romanos videtur superare potuisse . Sed multorum obtrectatio devicit unius virtutem . Hic autem velut hereditate relictum odium paternum erga Romanos sic conservavit , ut prius animam quam id deposuerit , qui quidem , cum patria pulsus esset et alienarum obtrectatio devicit unius virtutem . Hic autem velut hereditate relictum odium paternum erga Romanos sic conservavit , ut prius animam quam id deposuerit , qui quidem , cum patria pulsus esset et alienarum opum indigeret , numquam destiterit animo bellare cum Romanis .
Hannibal , the son of Hamilcar , a Carthaginian . If it is true , which no one doubts , that the Roman people surpasses all peoples in respect to manly virtue , it must not be denied that Hannibal stands out over the other commanders in respect to prudence as much as the Roman people were before all other nations in respect to strength . For as many times as he met with them in Italy , he always went away being superior . But if he had not been weakened by the jealousy of his own citizens at home , he would have seemed to be able to conquer the Romans . But the bad-mouthing of many conquered the manly virtue of one man . However , this man preserved the fatherly hatred against the Romans , having been left behind as an inheritance , so much that he would give up his soul earlier than that . He , indeed , when he had been driven out from his fatherland and was in need of foreign aid , he never stopped waging war with the Romans in his mind .
