Parce metu , Cytherea : manent immota tuorum
fata tibi ; cernes urbem et promissa Lavini
moenia , sublimemque feres ad sidera caeli
magnanimum Aenean ; neque me sententia vertit .
Hic tibi ( fabor enim , quando haec te cura remordet ,
longius et volvens fatorum arcana movebo )
bellum ingens geret Italia , populosque feroces
contundet , moresque viris et moenia ponet ,
tertia dum Latio regnantem viderit aestas ,
ternaque transierint Rutulis hiberna subactis .

Don’t
be
afraid
,
Cytherea
,
your
child’s
fate
remains
unaltered
:
You’ll see the city of Lavinium , and the walls I promised ,
and you’ll raise great-hearted Aeneas high , to the starry sky :
No thought has changed my mind . This son of yours
( since this trouble gnaws at my heart , I’ll speak ,
and unroll the secret scroll of destiny )
will wage a mighty war in Italy , destroy proud peoples ,
and establish laws , and city walls , for his warriors ,
until a third summer sees his reign in Latium , and
three winter camps pass since the Rutulians were beaten .

Forsitan et Priami fuerint quae fata requiras .

limina tectorum et medium in penetralibus hostem ,
arma diu senior desueta trementibus aevo
circumdat nequiquam umeris et inutile ferrum
cingitur , ac densos fertur moriturus in hostis .
aedibus in mediis nudoque sub aetheris axe
ingens ara fuit iuxtaque veterrima laurus
incumbens arae atque umbra complexa penatis .
hic Hecuba et natae nequiquam altaria circum ,
praecipites atra ceu tempestate columbae ,
condensae et divum amplexae simulacra sedebant .

And
maybe
you
ask
,
what
was
Priam’s
fate
.
When he saw the end of the captive city , the palace doors
wrenched away , and the enemy among the inner rooms ,
the aged man clasped his long-neglected armour
on his old , trembling shoulders , and fastened on his useless sword ,
and hurried into the thick of the enemy seeking death .
In the centre of the halls , and under the sky’s naked arch ,
was a large altar , with an ancient laurel nearby , that leant
on the altar , and clothed the household gods with shade .
Here Hecuba , and her daughters , like doves driven
by a dark storm , crouched uselessly by the shrines ,
huddled together , clutching at the statues of the gods .

et postquam veni in illum locum , in quo lapidea vestimenta erant facta , nihil inveni nisi sanguinem . Ut vero domum veni , iacebat miles meus in lecto tanquam bovis , et collum illius medicus curabat . Intellexi illum versipellem esse , nec postea cum illo panem gustare potui , non si me occidisses . Viderint quid de hoc alii exopinissent ; ego simentior , genios vestros iratos habeam . "
Once
I
heard
these
words
,
I
could
not
sleep
any
longer
.
At
first
light
I
fled
the
home
of
Gaius
like
an
angry
landlord
.
But
once
I
came
to
the
place
where
his
clothing
had
turned
into
stone
,
I
found
nothing
but
blood
.
Honestly
,
I
went
home
and
my
soldier
was
lying
like
a
bull
on
his
bed
as
a
doctor
was
tending
to
his
neck
.
I
knew
that
he
was
a

,
and
I
wouldn’t
have
been
able
to
share
a
meal
with
him
even
if
you
threatened
to
kill
me
.
Let
these
men
believe
what
they
want
about
this
,
but
if
I
am
lying
,
let
the
gods
hate
me
.

haec ab iis cognovit : Suebos , postea quam per exploratores pontem fieri comperissent , more suo concilio habito nuntios in omnes partes dimisisse , uti de oppidis demigrarent , liberos , uxores suaque omnia in silvis deponerent atque omnes qui arma ferre possent unum in locum convenirent . Hunc esse delectum medium fere regionum earum quas Suebi obtinerent ; hic Romanorum adventum expectare atque ibi decertare constituisse . Quod ubi Caesar comperit , omnibus iis rebus confectis , quarum rerum causa exercitum traducere constituerat , ut Germanis metum iniceret , ut Sugambros ulcisceretur , ut Ubios obsidione liberaret , diebus omnino XVIII trans Rhenum consumptis , satis et ad laudem et ad utilitatem profectum arbitratus se in Galliam recepit pontemque rescidit .
he
learned
from
them
these
particulars
:
that
the
Suevi
,
after
they
had
by
means
of
their
scouts
found
that
the
bridge
was
being
built
,
had
called
a
council
,
according
to
their
custom
,
and
sent
orders
to
all
parts
of
their
state
to
remove
from
the
towns
and
convey
their
children
,
wives
,
and
all
their
possessions
into
the
woods
,
and
that
all
who
could
bear
arms
should
assemble
in
one
place
;
that
the
place
thus
chosen
was
nearly
the
centre
of
those
regions
which
the
Suevi
possessed
;
that
in
this
spot
they
had
resolved
to
await
the
arrival
of
the
Romans
,
and
give
them
battle
there
.
When
Caesar
discovered
this
,
having
already
accomplished
all
these
things
on
account
of
which
he
had
resolved
to
lead
his
army
over
,
namely
,
to
strike
fear
into
the
Germans
,
take
vengeance
on
the
Sigambri
,
and
free
the
Ubii
from
the
invasion
of
the
Suevi
,
having
spent
altogether
eighteen
days
beyond
the
Rhine
,
and
thinking
he
had
advanced
far
enough
to
serve
both
honor
and
interest
,
he
returned
into
Gaul
,
and
cut
down
the
bridge
.

Fugato omni equitatu Vercingetorix copias , ut pro castris collocaverat , reduxit protinusque Alesiam , quod est oppidum Mandubiorum , iter facere coepit celeriterque impedimenta ex castris educi et se subsequi iussit . Caesar impedimentis in proximum collem deductis , duabus legionibus praesidio relictis , secutus quantum diei tempus est passum , circiter tribus milibus hostium ex novissimo agmine interfectis altero die ad Alesiam castra fecit . Perspecto urbis situ perterritisque hostibus , quod equitatu , qua maxime parte exercitus confidebant , erant pulsi , adhortatus ad laborem milites circumvallare instituit .
Ipsum erat oppidum Alesia in colle summo admodum edito loco , ut nisi obsidione expugnari non posse videretur ; cuius collis radices duo duabus ex partibus flumina subluebant . Ante id oppidum planities circiter milia passuum tria in longitudinem patebat : reliquis ex omnibus partibus colles mediocri interiecto spatio pari altitudinis fastigio oppidum cingebant . Sub muro , quae pars collis ad orientem solem spectabat , hunc omnem locum copiae Gallorum compleverant fossamque et maceriam sex in altitudinem pedum praeduxerant . Eius munitionis quae ab Romanis instituebatur circuitus XI milia passuum tenebat . Castra opportunis locis erant posita ibique castella viginti tria facta , quibus in castellis interdiu stationes ponebantur , ne qua subito eruptio fieret : haec eadem noctu excubitoribus ac firmis praesidiis tenebantur .

All
his
cavalry
being
routed
,
Vercingetorix
led
back
his
troops
in
the
same
order
as
he
had
arranged
them
before
the
camp
,
and
immediately
began
to
march
to
Alesia
,
which
is
a
town
of
the
Mandubii
,
and
ordered
the
baggage
to
be
speedily
brought
forth
from
the
camp
,
and
follow
him
closely
.
Caesar
,
having
conveyed
his
baggage
to
the
nearest
hill
,
and
having
left
two
legions
to
guard
it
,
pursued
as
far
as
the
time
of
day
would
permit
,
and
after
slaying
about
three
thousand
of
the
rear
of
the
enemy
,
encamped
at
Alesia
on
the
next
day
.
On
reconnoitering
the
situation
of
the
city
,
finding
that
the
enemy
were
panic-stricken
,
because
the
cavalry
in
which
they
placed
their
chief
reliance
,
were
beaten
,
he
encouraged
his
men
to
endure
the
toil
,
and
began
to
draw
a
line
of
circumvallation
round
Alesia
.
The town itself was situated on the top of a hill , in a very lofty position , so that it did not appear likely to be taken , except by a regular siege . Two rivers , on two different sides , washed the foot of the hill . Before the town lay a plain of about three miles in length ; on every other side hills at a moderate distance , and of an equal degree of height , surrounded the town . The army of the Gauls had filled all the space under the wall , comprising a part of the hill which looked to the rising sun , and had drawn in front a trench and a stone wall six feet high . The circuit of that fortification , which was commenced by the Romans , comprised eleven miles . The camp was pitched in a strong position , and twenty-three redoubts were raised in it , in which sentinels were placed by day , lest any sally should be made suddenly ; and by night the same were occupied by watches and strong guards .
