Fertility and Beauty of the Plains Near Capua
Hannibal, however, had not adopted this plan without
good reason. For the plains about Capua are the best in
Italy for fertility and beauty and proximity to the sea, and for
the commercial harbours, into which merchants run who are
sailing to Italy from nearly all parts of the world. They contain, moreover, the most famous and beautiful cities of Italy.
On its seaboard are Sinuessa, Cumae, Puteoli, Naples, and
Nuceria; and inland to the north there are Cales and Teanum,
to the east and south [CaudiumHolsten for the *dau/nioi of the old text; others
suggest Calatia.] and Nola. In the centre
of these plains lies the richest of all the cities, that of Capua.
No tale in all mythology wears a greater appearance of probability than that which is told of these, which, like others
remarkable for their beauty, are called the Phlegraean plains;
for surely none are more likely for beauty and fertility to have
been contended for by gods. In addition t

Therefore, I willingly allow that part of the cause to be concluded, summed
up, as it has been, with dignity and elegance by Marcus Crassus; the part, I
mean, which relates to the seditions at Naples, to the expulsion of the Alexandrians from
Puteoli, and to the
property of Palla. I wish he had also discussed the transaction respecting
Dio. And yet on that subject what is there that you can expect me to say, when the man who committed the murder is not afraid, but
even confesses it? For he is a king. But the man who is said to have been
the assistant and accomplice in the murder, has been acquitted by a regular
trial. What sort of crime, then, is this, that the man who has committed it
does not deny it—that he who has denied it has been acquitted, and

After Aeneas had passed by all those
and seen to his right hand the distant walls
guarding the city of Parthenope,
he passed on his left hand a mound,
grave of the tuneful son of Aeolus.
Landing on Cumae's marshy shore, he reached
a cavern, home of the long lived Sibylla,
and prayed that she would give him at the lake,
Avernus, access to his father's shade.
She raised her countenance, from gazing on
the ground, and with an inspiration given
to her by influence of the god, she said,
“Much you would have, O man of famous deeds,
whose courage is attested by the sword,
whose filial piety is proved by flame.
But, Trojan, have no fear. I grant your wish,
and with my guidance you shall look upon
the latest kingdom of the world, shall see
Elysian homes and your dear father's shade,
for virtue there is everywhere a way.”
She spoke, and pointed out to him a branch
refulgent with bright gold, found in the woods
of Juno of Avernus, and commanded him
to pluck it from the stem. Aeneas did
