Recapitulation of Book 1
IN the previous book I have described how the Romans,
Recapitulation of the subjects treated in Book I.
having subdued all Italy, began to aim at foreign
dominion; how they crossed to Sicily, and the
reasons of the war which they entered into
against the Carthaginians for the possession of
that island. Next I stated at what period they began the
formation of a navy; and what befell both the one side and
the other up to the end of the war; the consequence of which
was that the Carthaginians entirely evacuated Sicily, and the
Romans took possession of the whole island, except such parts
as were still under the rule of Hiero. Following these events
I endeavoured to describe how the mutiny of the mercenaries
against Carthage, in what is called the Libyan War, burst out;
the lengths to which the shocking outrages in it went; its surprises and extraordinary incidents, until its conclusion, and the
final triumph of Carthage. I must now relate the events which

The Hannibalian War — The Recovery of Tarentum
THE distance from the strait and town of Rhegium to
B.C. 209, Coss. Q. Fabius Maximus V. Q. Fulvius Flaccus IV.
Tarentum is more than two thousand stades;
and that portion of the shore of Italy is entirely destitute of harbours, except those of
Tarentum: I mean the coast facing the Sicilian
sea, and verging towards Greece, which contains the most
populous barbarian tribes as well as the most famous of the
Greek cities. For the Bruttii, Lucani, some portions of the
Daunii, the Cabalii, and several others, occupy this quarter
of Italy. So again this coast is lined by the Greek cities of
Rhegium, Caulon, Locri, Croton, Metapontum, and Thurii: so
that voyagers from Sicily or from Greece to any one of these
cities are compelled to drop anchor in the harbours of
Tarentum; and the exchange and commerce with all who
occupy this coast of Italy take place in this city. One may
judge of the excellence of its situation from the prosperity
