The Carthaginians now saw that their enemies contemplated a lengthened occupation of the country. They
therefore proceeded first of all to elect two of their own
citizens, Hasdrubal son of Hanno, and Bostarus, to the office
of general; and next sent to Heracleia a pressing summons to

who were doing even more damage to the country than the
Romans. The terror which they inspired drove the country
folk to flock for safety into the city; and the city itself had to
face a serious famine as well as a panic, th oses harsh terms. But Regulus had
different views. The double defeat sustained
by the Carthaginians, by land as well as by sea,
convinced him that the capture of Carthage was a question of
a very short time; and he was in a state of great anxiety lest
his successor in the Consulship should arrive from Rome in
