Dissidebat ab eo Pergamenus rex Eumenes , Romanis amicissimus , bellumque inter eos gerebatur et mari et terra ; sed utrobique Eumenes plus valebat propter Romanorum societatem . Quo magis cupiebat eum Hannibal opprimi ; quem si removisset , faciliora sibi cetera fore arbitrabatur . Ad hunc interficiundum talem iniit rationem . Classe paucis diebus erant decreturi . Superabatur navium multitudine ; dolo erat pugnandum , cum par non esset armis . Imperavit quam plurimas venenatas serpentes vivas colligi easque in vasa conici . Harum cum effecisset magnam multitudinem , die ipso , quo facturus erat navale proelium , classiarios convocat hisque praecipit , omnes ut in unam Eumenis regis concurrant navem , a ceteris tantum satis habeant se defendere . Id illos facile serpentium multitudine consecuturos .
King
Eumenes
of
Pergamon
,
the
most
friendly
to
the
Romans
,
differed
from
him
(
King
Prusias
)
and
war
was
waged
between
them
both
on
land
and
on
sea
,
but
on
both
sides
Eumenes
was
stronger
because
of
the
allyship
of
the
Romans
.
Because
of
this
,
Hannibal
wanted
him
to
be
pressed
down
even
more
,
if
he
were
to
remove
him
,
he
thought
that
everything
else
would
be
easier
for
him
.
He
entered
into
such
a
plan
in
order
to
kill
him
.
They
were
going
to
fight
by
ships
in
a
few
days
.
He
was
conquered
by
the
multitude
of
ships
,
so
it
must
be
fought
by
a
trick
,
because
he
was
not
equal
in
arms
.
He
ordered
as
many
as
possible
living
venomous
snakes
to
be
collected
and
to
be
thrown
into
jars
.
When
he
had
made
a
great
multitude
of
them
,
on
that
very
day
which
he
was
going
to
make
a
naval
battle
,
he
called
together
his
captains
and
ordered
them
that
all
of
them
should
rush
the
ship
of
King
Eumenes
alone
,
and
they
should
consider
it
enough
to
only
defend
themselves
from
the
others
.
[
He
said
that
]
they
would
achieve
this
easily
because
of
the
multitude
of
snakes
.
