At the day prefixed, in 203 27 | by gentle marches, into Campania, and spent the summer at 204 30 | Hannibal. Betwixt the two camps was a little hill, a tolerably 205 | cannot 206 6 | was immolating, the tufted cap which the Flamens wear had 207 8 | cities, Milan. This was their capital, and, therefore, fighting 208 24 | that Marcellus was in the capitol offering sacrifice when 209 24 | what enemies conquered and captured in war cannot possibly be 210 19 | Greek cities in Sicily, and capturing also the camp of Hippocrates 211 8 | lance, fiercely ran in full career at him; exceeding the rest 212 19 | surmount, and it was itself carelessly guarded.

And though 243 23 | business by battle, offered a cock; the Lacedaemonians, though 244 18 | examined, of the precision and cogency of the methods and means 245 24 | referred to the senate the cognizance of other matters: but when 246 4 | that the Gallic war was not coincident with the Punic, but that 247 23 | they who without force, by colloquy, persuasion, and reasoning, 248 8 | gold and silver and various colours, shining like lightning. 249 10 | Marcellus, and hoping to combine his boldness, confidence, 250 25 | that, when the time of the Comitia at Rome was near at hand, 251 6 | all possible speed, and commanding them to forbear from acting 252 20 | One example of many I will commemorate. In Sicily there is a town 253 11 | Bantius whom the Romans commend above the rest that fought 254 9 | that Numa Pompilius, in his commentaries, makes mention of first, 255 18 | to leave behind him any commentary or writing on such subjects; 256 19 | said to have wept much, commiserating the calamity that hung over 257 19 | feelings of sympathy and commiseration at seeing all the riches 258 24 | Marcellus answered that they had committed many acts of hostility against 259 30 | spearmen, confident that the commodiousness of the place would allure 260 14 | were of opinion that the commonwealth did not require the service 261 29 | but he suppressed a great commotion in Etruria, that had proceeded 262 24 | Rome to accuse him, and to complain that they had suffered indignities 263 10 | battles; and the citizens complained that the extreme caution 264 24 | mingled with lamentation and complaint; the sum of which was, that 265 17 | all its fastenings, and completely dislodged it from the bridge. 266 16 | amusements in geometry; in compliance with King Hiero's desire 267 9 | in order, and with verses composed for the occasion, and with 268 31 | the top of it sat a scout concealed from the sight of the enemy, 269 32 | re-collecting the bones; conceiving that Marcellus so fell, 270 23 | flutes or pipes sounding in concert, while he passed along, 271 18 | path he leads you to the conclusion required. And thus it ceases 272 16 | satisfaction of the senses, conclusions too intricate for proof 273 3 | evidence of the crime, they condemned Capitolinus, and set a fine 274 28 | worse judges than the enemy, condemning Marcellus of timidity, from 275 19 | moderation, he still esteemed the condition of that city to be pitiable, 276 14 | that city a force under the conduct of Appius, as praetor. While 277 15 | sea. The land forces were conducted by Appius: Marcellus, with 278 8 | to his colleague, who was conducting the war, with ill-success, 279 11 | seeking an occasion of further conference. When Bantius had told who 280 19 | thither, and entertaining conferences about the release of Damippus, 281 10 | Certainly, Hannibal himself confessed that he feared Fabius as 282 10 | timidity and inaction. They confided in him to keep them out 283 30 | of archers and spearmen, confident that the commodiousness 284 18 | Marcellus desisted from conflicts and assaults, putting all 285 7 | brought his horse round to confront the enemy, and made a gesture 286 14 | things had been in tumult and confusion at Syracuse. For which reason 287 19 | Hexapylum, all his officers congratulating him. But looking down from 288 19 | pitiable, and, even amidst the congratulations and joy, showed his strong 289 23 | more excellent and more congruous to man, than one effected 290 23 | than fear. Whence I am, by conjecture, led to think that, originally, 291 8 | badges of his authority conjecturing him to be the general, advanced 292 23 | honour, also, must have some connection with Bacchus, who in Greek 293 24 | nothing but what enemies conquered and captured in war cannot 294 20 | possessed and mad. His wife, conscious of his counterfeiting, and 295 8 | Romans; and that to thee I consecrate these first and most excellent 296 27 | their own party, caused a considerable slaughter. It is said more 297 28 | drawn up an impeachment consisting of these calumnies. At the 298 [Title]| temper and heat he showed conspicuously in battle; in other respects 299 12 | and had entered into a conspiracy to plunder the baggage of 300 14 | yet the magnanimity and constancy of the city was such, that 301 9 | upon their enemies, they constantly call out to each other, 302 16 | problem, so often required in constructing geometrical figures, given 303 33 | added to Marcellus's five consulates his two proconsulates.

The army 317 16 | astonished at this, and convinced of the power of the art, 318 16 | his hand and drawing the cords by degrees, he drew the 319 25 | found a large quantity of corn and money, and three thousand 320 16 | invectives against it as the mere corruption and annihilation of the 321 9 | Caeninenses: the second, Cornelius Cossus, who slew Tolumnius the 322 17 | Marcellus, doubtful what counsel to pursue, drew off his 323 20 | eminent of the citizens, counselled them to go over to the Romans; 324 32 | nor did he show in his countenance any sign of gladness, as 325 20 | His wife, conscious of his counterfeiting, and privy to his design, 326 24 | absence, put them out of the court. But Marcellus himself came 327 23 | undertook by cunning, or courteous treaty, on laying down his 328 11 | enemies?" He followed up his courtesies by a present of a war-horse 329 32 | with a crown of gold to cover it, he sent back to his 330 14 | rather by misfortune than by cowardice.

And yet, notwithstanding 336 3 | but young, presented with crowns and other honourable rewards; 337 5 | averse to barbarous and cruel rites, and entertained more 338 7 | threatening all kinds of cruelties. Marcellus, because his 339 23 | work he had undertook by cunning, or courteous treaty, on 340 9 | gratitude, a present of a golden cup of an hundred pound weight, 341 21 | idleness, and vain talk about curious arts and artificers, the 342 16 | to their purpose certain curves and sections of lines.

After much debate about the thing, the senate 353 25 | believe that what is the decay of the patient's strength 354 13 | the other consul being deceased, the people recalled Marcellus, 355 17 | when they who thought to deceive the defenders came close 356 25 | and put themselves to the decision by the sword; Marcellus 357 13 | for fear of the people, to declare their sentence openly, Marcellus 358 19 | follow to Marcellus; which he declining to do before he had worked 359 29 | the cities. Then, when the dedication of the temple, which he 360 9 | would have the name to be deduced from the strokes that are 361 20 | began in a trembling and deep tone, but by degrees raised 362 12 | liable like themselves to defeats. ~ 363 14 | remaining Romans enough to defend the wall of the city.
