Aeque felicis eventus illa flamma, quae ex L. Marcii, ducis duorum exercituum quos interitus P. et Cn. Scipionum in Hispania debilitaverat, capite contionantis eluxit: namque eius aspectu pavidi adhuc milites pristinam recuperare fortitudinem admoniti, septem et triginta milibus hostium caesis magnoque numero in potestatem redacto, bina castra Punicis opibus referta ceperunt.
Of no less happy event was the flame that shone from the head of L. Marcius, commander of the two armies which the deaths of P. and Cn. Scipio in Spain had enfeebled, as he was making a speech. At sight of it the soldiers, still cowed, were admonished to recover their former valour; and after slaying thirty-seven thousand of the enemy and taking a great number prisoner, they captured two camps full of Punic riches.
