Hannibal , Hamilcaris filius , Carthaginiensis . Si verum est , quod nemo dubitat , ut populus Romanus omnes gentes virtute superarit , non est infitiandum Hannibalem tanto praestitisse ceteros imperatores prudentia , quanto populus Romanus antecedat fortitudine cunctas nationes . Nam quotienscumque cum eo congressus est in Italia , semper discessit superior . Quod nisi domi civium suorum invidia debilitatus esset , Romanos videtur superare potuisse . Sed multorum obtrectatio devicit unius virtutem . Hic autem velut hereditate relictum odium paternum erga Romanos sic conservavit , ut prius animam quam id deposuerit , qui quidem , cum patria pulsus esset et alienarum obtrectatio devicit unius virtutem . Hic autem velut hereditate relictum odium paternum erga Romanos sic conservavit , ut prius animam quam id deposuerit , qui quidem , cum patria pulsus esset et alienarum opum indigeret , numquam destiterit animo bellare cum Romanis .
Hannibal
,
the
son
of
Hamilcar
,
a
Carthaginian
.
If
it
is
true
,
which
no
one
doubts
,
that
the
Roman
people
surpasses
all
peoples
in
respect
to
manly
virtue
,
it
must
not
be
denied
that
Hannibal
stands
out
over
the
other
commanders
in
respect
to
prudence
as
much
as
the
Roman
people
were
before
all
other
nations
in
respect
to
strength
.
For
as
many
times
as
he
met
with
them
in
Italy
,
he
always
went
away
being
superior
.
But
if
he
had
not
been
weakened
by
the
jealousy
of
his
own
citizens
at
home
,
he
would
have
seemed
to
be
able
to
conquer
the
Romans
.
But
the
bad-mouthing
of
many
conquered
the
manly
virtue
of
one
man
.
However
,
this
man
preserved
the
fatherly
hatred
against
the
Romans
,
having
been
left
behind
as
an
inheritance
,
so
much
that
he
would
give
up
his
soul
earlier
than
that
.
He
,
indeed
,
when
he
had
been
driven
out
from
his
fatherland
and
was
in
need
of
foreign
aid
,
he
never
stopped
waging
war
with
the
Romans
in
his
mind
.

Sic Hannibal , minor V et XX annis natus imperator factus , proximo triennio omnes gentes Hispaniae bello subegit . Saguntum , foederatam civitatem , vi expugnavit . Tres exercitus maximos comparavit . Ex his unum in Africam misit , alterum cum Hasdrubale fratre in Hispania reliquit , tertium in Italiam secum duxit . Saltum Pyrenaeum transiit . Quacumque iter fecit , cum omnibus incolis conflixit . Ad Alpes posteaquam venit , quae Italiam ab Gallia seiungunt , quas nemo umquam cum exercitu ante eum praeter Herculem Graium transierat , quo facto is hodie saltus Graius appellatur . Alpicos conantes prohibere transitu concidit . Loca patefecit et effecit , ut ea elephantus ornatus ire posset , qua antea unus homo inermis vix poterat repere . Hac copias traduxit in Italiamque pervenit .
Thus
Hannibal
,
being
born
younger
than
25
years
,
having
been
made
commander
,
conquered
all
the
tribes
of
Spain
in
the
next
tree
years
.
He
captured
Saguntum
,
an
allied
city
,
by
force
.
He
prepared
three
big
armies
.
Out
of
them
,
he
sent
one
into
Africa
,
the
other
he
left
with
his
brother
Hasdrubal
in
Spain
,
he
led
the
third
with
himself
into
Italy
.
He
crossed
the
Pyrenees
mountain
pass
.
Wherever
he
made
a
journey
,
he
clashed
with
all
of
the
inhabitants
.
After
he
came
to
the
Alps
,
which
divide
Italy
from
Gaul
,
which
no
one
ever
before
him
,
except
for
the
Greek
Hercules
,
had
crossed
with
an
army
.
Because
of
this
thing
having
been
done
,
this
today
is
called
the
Greek
pass
.
He
killed
the
Alpines
,
trying
to
prohibit
his
crossing
.
He
opened
up
the
places
and
made
it
so
that
an
armored
elephant
was
able
to
go
there
,
where
before
one
unarmed
man
scarcely
was
able
to
crawl
.
He
led
his
trops
there
and
came
into
Italy
.
