nt of Scipio Aemilianus's single combat with the Spaniard. See 35, 5. XI (16) "Secure retreat in case disaster fall." One ought always to keep this line in mind. From failing to do so Lucius the RomanPerhaps L. Postumius, Livy, 23, 24 (Hultsch). met with a grave disaster. So narrow is the risk of destruction to the most powerful forces when the leaders are unwise. A sufficient illustration to thoughtful men is furnished by the headstrong invasion of Argos by Pyrrhus king of the Epirotes,B.C. 272. Plutarch, Pyrrh. 31-34. and the expedition through Thrace of king Lysimachus against Dorimichaites, king of Odrysae;See Pausan. i. 9, 6. His disaster compelled him to give up his dominions beyond the Danube. Another and more successful war in Thrace seems referred to in Diod. Sic. 18, 14. and indeed many other similar cases. XII (23) Marcellus never once conquered Hannibal, who in fact remained unbeaten until Scipio's victory.Livy, however, records more than one success of Marcellus agains

ss of all the islands in the Sardinian and Tyrrhenian seas: they were beginning, therefore, to be exceedingly anxious lest, if the Carthaginians became masters of Sicily also, they should find them very dangerous and formidable neighbours, surrounding them as they would on every side, and occupying a position which commanded all the coasts of Italy. Now it was clear that, if the Mamertines did not obtain the assistance they asked for, the Carthaginians would very soon reduce Sicily. For should they avail themselves of the voluntary offer of Messene and become masters of it, they were certain before long to crush Syracuse also, since they were already lordsters of it, they were certain before long to crush Syracuse also, since they were already lords of nearly the whole of the rest of Sicily. The Romans saw all this, and felt that it was absolutely necessary not to let Messene slip, or allow the Carthaginians to secure what would be like a bridge to enable them to cross into Italy.
