Illi ubi consertis iunxere frementia telis agmina virque virum galeis adflavit adactis, continuo hinc obitus perfractaque caedibus arma corporaque, alternus cruor alternaeque ruinae; volvit ager galeas et thorax egerit imbres sanguineos; hinc barbarici glomerantur ovatus, hinc gemitus, mixtaeque virum cum pulvere vitae.
So then when steel met steel and the yelling ranks closed in conflict and hero breathed on hero through clashing helms, forthwith ensued the falling of warriors and the breaking of bodies and weapons in the carnage and bloodshed and collapse on either side; helmets roll upon the field, and from corselets spouts up the bloody rain; barbarians swarm, here shouting in triumph, there with groans, while the lives of warriors are mingled with the dust.
