Riassunto

Excerpt from The Worlds Famous Orations, Vol. 2 of 10: Rome

I am anxious to try whether the earth has sud denly, in these twenty years, sent forth a new race of Carthaginians, or whether these are the same who fought at the islands Bgates, and whom you permitted to depart from Eryx, val ued at eighteen denarii a head; and whether this Hannibal be, as he himself gives out, the rival of the expeditions of Hercules, or one left by his father the tributary and taxed subject and slave of the Roman people; who, did not his guilt at Saguntum drive him to frenzy, would certainly reflect, if not upon his conquered coun try, at least on his family, and his father, and the treaties written by the hand of Hamilcar; who, at the command of our consul, withdrew the garrison from Eryx; who, indignant and grieving, submitted to the harsh conditions im posed on the conquered Carthaginians; who agreed to depart from Sicily, and pay tribute to the Roman people.
