Victory Over the Insubres
The Consuls of the next year, however, Publius Furius
B. C. 223.
Philus and Caius Flaminius, once more invaded
the Celtic lands, marching through the territory
of the Anamares, who live not far from Placentia.Others read Ananes and Marseilles [*)ana/nwn . . . *massali/as]; but it
seems impossible that the Roman march should have extended so far. Having secured the friendship of this tribe, they crossed into the country
of the Insubres, near the confluence of the Adua and Padus.
They suffered some annoyance from the enemy, as they were
crossing the river, and as they were pitching their camp; and
after remaining for a short time, they made terms with the
Insubres and left their country. After a circuitous march of
several days, they crossed the River Clusius, and came into the
territory of the Cenomani. As these people were allies of
Rome, they reinforced the army with some of their men,
which then descended once more from the Alpine regions
into the plains b

his legions across before the enemy came up. He
saw that the level country where he was then was
favourable to the enemy with his superiority in ian slave (Livy, 21, 46). and he
decided that it was necessary to shift his quarters to a place of
safety.Hannibal crosses the Po higher up and follows Scipio to Placentia. For a time Hannibal imagined that Scipio would give
him battle with his infantry also: but when he saw that he had
abandoned his camp, he went in pursuit of him gain down stream, with an
earnest desire of giving the enemy battle. Publius, too, had
crossed the river and was now encamped under the walls of the
Roman colony Placentia. There he made no sign of any
intention to move; for he was engaged in trying to heal his own
wound and those of his men, and considered that he had a

M. Tullius Cicero, Against Verres (ed. C. D. Yonge), section 33 (search)
May the gods grant that you may venture to make mention of military affairs and of
war. For all his ancient military service shall be made known, in order that you may
be aware, not only what he has been as a commander, but also how he behaved as a
soldier in his campaigns. That first campaign of his shall be brought up again, in
which he was, as he says himself, subservient to others, not their master. The camp
of that gambler of Placentia shall be
brought: up again, where, though he were assiduous in his attendance, he still lost
his pay. Many of his losses in his campaigns shall be recounted, which were made up
for and retrieved by the most infamous expedients.

Alas for the disgrace of the
family, I will not say the Calpurnian family, but the Calventian; nor will I
say the disgrace of this city, but of the municipality of Placentia; nor of your father's
family, but of your breeches-wearingThe braccae, drawers or breeches, were the national

the rest of the citizens, but who, even of your own lieutenants, came to
meet you? For Lucius Flaccus, a man most
undeserving of the disgrace of being your lieutenant, and more worthy of
those counsels by which he was united with me in my consulship for the

In these two actions, Caesar lost nine hundred and sixty private men, thirty
officers, and several knights of note, as Flavius Tuticanus Gallus, a
senator's son; C. Felginus, of Placentia; A. Gravius, of Puteoli; and M. Sacrativir, of Capua. But the greatest part of these
died without wounds, being trodden to death in the ditch, about the works,
and on the banks of the river, occasioned by the flight and terror of their
own men. He lost also thirty-two colours. Pompey was saluted emperor on this
occasion; a title which he bore ever after, and suffered himself to be
accosted by: but neither in the letters which he wrote, nor in his consular
ensigns, did he think proper to assume the laurel. The prisoners were
delivered up to Labienus at his own request; and this deser
