Sic Hannibal , minor V et XX annis natus imperator factus , proximo triennio omnes gentes Hispaniae bello subegit . Saguntum , foederatam civitatem , vi expugnavit . Tres exercitus maximos comparavit . Ex his unum in Africam misit , alterum cum Hasdrubale fratre in Hispania reliquit , tertium in Italiam secum duxit . Saltum Pyrenaeum transiit . Quacumque iter fecit , cum omnibus incolis conflixit . Ad Alpes posteaquam venit , quae Italiam ab Gallia seiungunt , quas nemo umquam cum exercitu ante eum praeter Herculem Graium transierat , quo facto is hodie saltus Graius appellatur . Alpicos conantes prohibere transitu concidit . Loca patefecit et effecit , ut ea elephantus ornatus ire posset , qua antea unus homo inermis vix poterat repere . Hac copias traduxit in Italiamque pervenit .
Thus
Hannibal
,
being
born
younger
than
25
years
,
having
been
made
commander
,
conquered
all
the
tribes
of
Spain
in
the
next
three
years
.
He
captured
Saguntum
,
an
allied
city
,
by
force
.
He
prepared
three
big
armies
.
Out
of
them
,
he
sent
one
into
Africa
,
the
other
he
left
with
his
brother
Hasdrubal
in
Spain
,
he
led
the
third
with
himself
into
Italy
.
He
crossed
the
Pyrenees
mountain
pass
.
Wherever
he
made
a
journey
,
he
clashed
with
all
of
the
inhabitants
.
After
he
came
to
the
Alps
,
which
divide
Italy
from
Gaul
,
which
no
one
ever
before
him
,
except
for
the
Greek
Hercules
,
had
crossed
with
an
army
.
Because
of
this
thing
having
been
done
,
this
today
is
called
the
Greek
pass
.
He
killed
the
Alpines
,
trying
to
prohibit
his
crossing
.
He
opened
up
the
places
and
made
it
so
that
an
armored
elephant
was
able
to
go
there
,
where
before
one
unarmed
man
scarcely
was
able
to
crawl
.
He
led
his
troops
there
and
came
into
Italy
.
