Hac pugna pugnata Romam profectus est nullo resistente . In propinquis urbi montibus moratus est . Cum aliquot ibi dies castra habuisset et Capuam reverteretur , Q . Fabius Maximus , dictator Romanus , in agro Falerno ei se obiecit . Hic clausus locorum angustiis noctu sine ullo detrimento exercitus se expedivit ; Fabioque , callidissimo imperatori , dedit verba . Namque obducta nocte sarmenta in cornibus iuvencorum deligata incendit et multitudinem magnam dispalatam immisit . Quo repentino obiecto visu tantum terrorem iniecit exercitui Romanorum , ut egredi extra vallum nemo sit ausus . Hanc post rem gestam non ita multis diebus M . Minucium Rufum , magistrum equitum pari dictatorem imperio , dolo productum in proelium fugavit . M . Claudium Marcellum , V consulem , apud Venusiam pari modo interfecit . Longum est omnia enumerare proelia . Quare hoc unum satis erit dictum , ex quo intellegi possit , quantus ille fuerit : quamdiu in Italia fuit , nemo ei in acie restitit , nemo adversus eum post Cannensem pugnam in campo castra posuit .
With
this
fight
having
been
fought
,
he
set
out
for
Rome
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
had
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
fire
the
sticks
,
having
been
tied
on
the
horns
of
cattle
,
and
sent
down
a
great
multitude
having
wandered
around
.
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
Master
of
the
Horse
with
equal
power
to
the
dictator
,
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
all
his
battles
.
For
this
reason
,
this
alone
will
be
enough
to
be
said
,
from
which
it
is
able
to
be
known
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
battlefield
against
him
after
the
Battle
of
Cannae
.
