ut during the third watch; three daylight hours had been added to their night march, and the battle had followed at once upon the labour of the journey, with no time given for repose. Accordingly, only at the outset of the fight did they retain some energy of mind and body, and at first they had thrown the Romans into confusion; later the battle became gradually more even. At this crisis the propraetor vowed games to JupiterThe performance of this vow is recorded at XXXVI. xxxvi. 1-2 (191 B.C.). if he should rout and slaughter the enemy. At length the Romans pressed on with greater vigour and the Lusitani gave way and finally fled; and while the victors pursued the fleeing foe, about twelve thousand of the enemy were killed, five hundred forty were taken prisoners, almost all cavalry, and one hundred thirty-four standards were captured. From the Roman army seventy-three were lost. The battle was fought not far from the city of Ilipa;This city is probably identic

a council of the Magnetes had been called. It was necessary to employ more carefully-chosen language at this council because some of the chiefs were alienated from the Romans and wholly devoted to Antiochus and the Aetolians because, when itB.C. 192 was reported that Philip's son, who was a hostage, was being returned to him and the tribute which had been imposed remitted,Livy does not mention any embassy to Philip at this time and says nothing of any proposal to return his son until 191 B.C. (XXXVI. xxxv. 13), when Demetrius was restored to his father. Diodorus (XXVIII. xvi), however, speaks of an embassy which promised both these things to Philip. The Magnetes, then, may have had some grounds for their suspicions, as even Livy's language (note especially spes incisa in sect. 7 below) indicates. among other falsehoods it was said that Demetrias also would be given back to him by the Romans. To prevent this from happening, Eurylochus, the chief of the Magnetes, and s

omewhat inconsistent with that previously given, and probably came from another source. In x. 10 the election of Quinctius and Domitius was reported; the assignment of provinces was postponed to xx. 2-7, to make room for the account of developments in the east. Their achievements in the provinces were summarily recorded in xxii. 3-4, with only slight variations from the later version, and at xxiv. 3 Quinctius returned to hold the elections at which Scipio and Glabrio were chosen consuls for 191 B.C. In this passage, however, Livy seems to keep both consuls in Rome until after the elections, forgetting that Domitius was already in Gaul, according to the earlier account. He seems too to forget that the proconsul Minucius had been assigned to the Ligures (xx. 6). A further difference will be seen in the following sections: the source of chap. xxii went on to record events in Spain, and a possible duplication was pointed out in the note to xxii. 8; the source which Livy followed in chap. x

While the Romans were concentrating on the preparations for the new war, there was no idleness on the part of Antiochus either. Three cities were detaining him, Zmyrna and Alexandria Troas and Lampsacus,Zmyrna and Lampsacus were mentioned in xvi. 3 as cities which Antiochus was trying to recover; Alexandria Troas was one of the other cities of xvi. 6 above. The events now related belong to the period 192-191 B.C. which he had up to that time been able neither to take by assault nor to win over to friendship by negotiations, nor was he willing to leave them in his rear when he crossed to Greece. The question of Hannibal also detained him. And at first the open ships which he had planned to send with him to Africa were delayed; then the question whether he should be sent at all was raised, particularly by Thoas the Aetolian, who, after everything in Greece had been thrown into confusion, broughtB.C. 192 word that Demetrias was in his power, and with lies like thos

While this was going on at Rome, Antiochus at Chalcis, not to waste the winter in idleness,Livy now resumes the narrative of events in the east, interrupted at the end of Book XXXV. The winter referred to is that of 192-191 B.C. sometimes was himself stirring up the minds of the states by sending embassies, sometimes was receiving delegations voluntarily sent to him, as, for instance, the Epirotes, who came with the unanimous approval of the people, and the men of Elis from the Peloponnesus. The Elei were asking aid against the Achaeans, who, they thought, would attack their city first after declaring a war on Antiochus of which the Elei disapproved.To judge by other casual references, such as Plutarch (Cato xii) and the hints in XXXV. 1, Greece was in a state of great unrest at this time, although Livy minimizes the trouble. A thousand infantry were sent to them under command of Euphanes the Cretan. The embassy of the Epirotes showed no outspoken and plain inclinatio

erywhere by a wide-ranging army and they saw the camp established near the city, they sent ambassadors to Chalcis to Titus Quinctius, the source of their liberty, to say that the Messenians were ready to open their gates and surrender their city to the Romans, not the Achaeans. Having listened to the ambassadors Quinctius, setting out at once from Megalopolis, sent a messenger to Diophanes, praetor of the Achaeans,Diophanes had succeeded Philopoemen as Achaean strategus in the fall of 191 B.C. to order him to withdraw his army at once from Messene and to report to him. Diophanes obeyed the summons, and raising the siege and himself travelling light, preceded the column and near Andania, a little town located between Megalopolis and Messene, met Quinctius; and when he had explained the reason for the siege, Quinctius reproached him gently because he had undertaken so important a matter without his authorization,Quinctius had no authority from any source, Roman or Greek

he battle in which he destroyed Hasdrubal and his army; as censor he also let the contract for its construction in the consulship of Marcus Cornelius and Publius Sempronius.The temple was vowed at the battle of the Metaurus in 207 B.C., but Livy has not mentioned before either the vow or the contract. By reason of this dedication also games were held, and with more intense religious feeling because the new war with Antiochus was imminent.These events then belong to the early spring of 191 B.C. XXXVII. In the beginning of the year in which these things happened, Manius Acilius having already set out to the war and Publius Cornelius the consul being still in Rome, it is recorded that two domesticated cattle in the Carinae climbed up a stairway to the roof of a house. The haruspices ordered that they be burned alive and the ashes thrown into the Tiber. At Terracina and Amiternum it was reported that there were several showers of stones, at Minturnae the temple of Jupiter
