Verum ut aeque populo Romano inimicae urbis excidium referam, Carthagine capta uxor Hasdrubalis, exprobrata ei impietate, quod a Scipione soli sibi impetrare vitam contentus fuisset, dextra laevaque communes filios mortem non recusantes trahens, incendio se flagrantis patriae obiecit.
But to mention the razing of a city equally hostile to the Roman people, when Carthage was taken, Hasdrubals wife reproached him with disloyalty in that he had been content to get Scipios consent to spare his life for himself only. Then drawing their common children, who did not refuse death, with her right hand and her left, she exposed herself to the flames of her burning country.
