11. postero die transgressus Anienem Hannibal in aciem omnis copias eduxit; nec Flaccus consulesque certamen detrectavere. [2] instructis utrimque exercitibus in eius pugnae casum in qua urbs Roma victori praemium esset, imber ingens grandine mixtus ita utramque aciem turbavit ut vix armis retentis in castra sese receperint, nullius rei minore quam hostium metu. [3] et postero die eodem loco acies instructas eadem tempestas diremit; ubi recepissent se in castra, mira serenitas cum tranquillitate oriebatur. [4] in religionem ea res apud Poenos versa est, auditaque vox Hannibalis fertur, potiundae sibi urbis Romae modo mentem non dari, modo fortunam. [5] minuere etiam spem eius duae1 aliae, parva magnaque, res, magna illa quod, cum ipse ad moenia urbis Romae armatus sederet, milites sub vexillis in [p. 40] supplementum Hispaniae profectos audiit, parva autem2 [6?] quod per3 eos dies eum forte agrum in quo ipse castra haberet venisse nihil ob id deminuto pretio cognitum ex quodam captivo est. [7] id vero adeo superbum atque indignum visum, eius soli quod ipse bello captum possideret haberetque inventum Romae emptorem, ut extemplo vocato praecone tabernas argentarias quae circa forum Romanum essent iusserit venire.

[8] his motus ad Tutiam fluvium castra rettulit, sex milia passuum ab urbe. inde ad lucum Feroniae pergit ire, templum ea tempestate inclutum divitiis. [9] capenates aliique qui4 accolae eius erant primitias frugum eo donaque alia pro copia portantes multo auro argentoque id exornatum habebant. iis omnibus donis tum spoliatum templum; aeris acervi, cum rudera milites religione inducti iacerent, post profectionem Hannibalis magni inventi. [10] huius populatio templi haud dubia inter scriptores est. coelius Romam euntem ab Ereto devertisse eo Hannibalem tradit, iterque eius ab Reate Cutiliisque et ab Amiterno orditur: [11] ex Campania in Samnium, inde in Paelignos pervenisse, praeterque oppidum Sulmonem in Marrucinos transisse, inde Albensi agro in Marsos, hinc Amiternum Forulosque vicum [p. 42] venisse. [12] neque ibi error est quod tanti ducis5 tantique6 exercitus vestigia intra tam brevis aevi memoriam potuerint confundi—isse enim ea constat—; [13] tantum id interest, veneritne eo itinere ad urbem an ab urbe in Campaniam redierit.
