With this fight having been fought , he set out for Roman with no one resisting . He has been delayed in the mountains close to the city . When he had held camp there for so many days and was being turned back to Capua , Quintus Fabius Maximus , the Roman dictator , threw himself against him in the Falerian field . He , having been closed off by the narrowness of the terrain , extracted himself at night without any harm of his army , and he tricked Fabius , the cleverest commander . For , with night having been led in , he lit on bundles of sticks , having been tied on the horns of cattle , on fire , and sent down a great multitude having been scattered . With this sudden sight having been thrown in , he threw in such great terror to the army of the Romans with the result that no one dared to go outside of the intrenchment . After this thing having been done , in not so many days , he routed Marcus Minucius Rufus , the commander of Master of the Horse with equal power , having been led into a battle by a trick . He killed Marcus Claudius Marcellus , consul for the fifth time , at Venusia in a similar way . It would take a long time to count his battles . For this reason , this alone will be enough to have been said , from what is able to be known , about how great he was : As long as he was in Italy , no one resisted him in the battle lines , no one set up camps in the battle field against him after the Battle of Cannae .
