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 eiusque generis 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 ac dictatorem imperio , dolo productum in proelium fugavit . Tiberium Sempronium Gracchum , iterum consulem , in Lucanis absens in insidias inductum sustulit . M . Claudium Marcellum , quinquies 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
has
set
out
to
Rome
with
no
one
resisting
.
He
has
been
delayed
by
the
mountains
nearby
to
the
city
.
When
he
holds
camps
for
some
days
there
and
went
back
to
Capua
,
Q
.
Fabius
Maximus
,
a
Roman
dictator
,
threw
himself
into
the
Falerian
field
against
himself
.
He
having
been
enclosed
by
the
narrowness
of
the
place
at
night
he
set
himself
free
without
any
harm
to
his
army
;
Fabius
,
the
clever
commander
,
he
deceived
.
And
for
with
the
night
having
been
lead
in
he
lit
on
the
bundle
of
sticks
having
been
tied
on
the
horn
of
the
cows
of
this
kind
he
sent
a
large
number
having
wandered
around
.
With
this
sudden
sight
having
been
thrown
in
,
he
struck
such
great
fear
into
the
Roman
army
,
that
no
one
has
dared
to
go
outside
the
defenses
.
After
this
thing
having
been
done
not
in
so
many
days
he
made
Minucius
flee
,
the
master
of
horse
with
equal
power
to
the
dictator
,
having
been
lead
forth
with
a
trick
in
battle
.
He
being
absent
destroyed
Tiberius
Sempronious
Gracchus
,
again
a
consul
,
in
Lucania
having
been
lead
into
traps
.
He
kills
M
.
Caladius
Marcellus
,
a
5
time
consul
,
in
the
same
mode
by
Venusia
.
It
is
long
to
count
all
the
battles
.
Because
of
this
,
it
will
be
enough
to
say
this
one
thing
,
out
of
which
it
is
able
to
be
understood
how
great
he
was
:
as
long
as
he
was
in
Italy
,
no
one
resisted
him
in
battle
,
no
one
placed
camps
in
the
fields
against
him
after
the
battle
of
Cannae
.
